I love this technique and it's been a long time since I've done it. I also combined it w/ yesterday's FS challenge, Kokirose. Patricia has such a wonderful gallery and I've been an admirer of hers for quite a while. I chose her Silhouetted Flowers to case. I changed the stamps and started out w/ blue instead of white c/s. I also did the faux embossing instead of the straight silhouette w/ highlighting. I kept her general layout and color scheme.
The images were stamped first w/ the white chalk ink, then positioned and stamped again, slightly off, w/ the cobalt ink. I also sponged a little around the edges w/ the cobalt ink. I stamped a separate corner and flower onto the night of navy and cut these out and attached in the upper right corner.
The sentiment was done the same way, layered a couple of times and attached w/ foam tape. Rhinestones were added in the lower left and upper right corners. Dots were done w/ a white gel pen. The top image layer is attached to a white layer then to the navy layer using foam tape. TFL
