I stamped my image then used the spellbinder die and cut out and embossed then sponged with distress ink. I stamped the tree again on separate paper and cut out only the flowers, colored them, distressed the edges and popped them up. I stamped the bg and colored it in then distressed the edges with distress ink.

Lisa this is so pretty! Wow, your sponging around the circle is so perfect. I like how it makes the image stand out. Your stamped background looks like designer paper! Nice work!
