The idea to do this actually came from a box of junk jewelry.
In it, there was a handmade pin. It was a piece of purple velvet that someone had stamped with a pansy, glued it to a fragment of broken acrylic and surrounded with Dresden scrap. Then they glued a pin to the back.
I'd already stamped Technique Junkies New Release stamp Old Fashioned Roses and embossed with gold powder and begun to watercolor.
After coloring the large rose, I caught sight of that piece and that was all she wrote.
