This is my submission for TLC175, to use Pastels for our background... I used a tissue to rub on Always Artichoke and Regal Rose on Very Vanilla CS. I then inked my bg stamp with VersaMark and embossed in gold. I did the same for the sentiment panel and the larger floral images. I watercolored the floral images with ink and blender pens, then painted with Diamond Glaze followed by Shimmerz. I cut them out and mounted on the sentiment panel.
EDIT: When starting to go through the gallery to make comments I realized I had misread the instructions. (Red face) I thought we just had to do the background... now I see we were to do the bg "as well" as the image... that's what I get for skimming I guess. I humbly admit my boo boo, but it's here and I'm going with it. Have a Dr. appt. but if time I'll do one the right way too! LOL!

This is so beautiful with the gold embossing, Grace! the colors are so soft, and the gold is such a great touch! What a good idea. TFS!!!
