I cut and embossed the oval in watercolour paper before stamping it. I left the die in place while stamping the image with Black Versafine ink. I then coloured the image with the Watercolour crayons and coloured the outer edge in blue to highlight it against the Old Olive CS. I ran the Lilac CS through the CB with the Sprig EF from the Just My Type set, and then swiped it with White ink to highlight the embossing. Finally, I stamped my sentiment onto watercolour paper before cutting and embossing it with the square nesties, (yes, it is a square, I cut it to where I wanted it and slide the rest underneath so it looks like a rectangle) and coloured it with Old Olive watercolour crayon.
To make up the card I stuck the Blue DSP to the base card, then the Lilac CS to the LHS, the sentiment to the bottom RHS and the focal image in the centre at the top with foam mounting tape.
