The PB stamp was traced for the outlines, I didn't want all the lines that were on the petals on the stamp and left one element off. Watercolored the flowers and then filled in the bg with a Copic as close to the evergreen shade that was given for today. Mounted a die cut frame over it and added it to the embossed bg panel.

Beautiful, Sallie! I love the depth you achieved on your sweet blooms and the pretty sort of "marbelized" look of the bg color! Beautifully framed as well~

Lovely! Beautiful flowers with amazing details. Your painting is so pretty. Fabulous fill in with the Evening Evergreen color. The dry embossing and framing look great. Well done, Sallie.

Sallie, at first glance after opening SCS I knew this beauty was yours. Beautifully done and wonderfully realistic! The flowers have me thinking of the beautiful Cyclamen! Happy Valentine's Day!

Sallie, a lovely watercolor, and so pretty framed against the embossing.
