CC172 happiness, 88 keys

Photo Details

Poster: 88 keys

the only way i've had success with this large bg stamp is with pigment ink. the extra thickness coats it much better than dye. i used white pigment ink on wasabi cs, and then embossed it. i have a flower punch by EK Success that is the exact same size as the flower on the stamp, so they're punched out of teal cs and attached with white pearlized brads. i colored the center of the flowers in the middle row with a teal gel pen and added a dot of crystal stickles. for the bottom row of flowers i just colored in the petal with the teal SU marker.
thanks for looking!
