and here are more close ups and some TIPS&TRICKS on how did it:

use a designer stencil, embossing ink and embossing powder to create the gold pattern on your background paper. once the image has cooled down, spray some KAISERMIST on top to give it vintage look-and-feel.

TIP! use different coloured and different shape flowers and foliage to create the flower cluster.

add die cut blossoms on top of the embossed image to give it 3D effect. embellish with rhinestones.

use MOUNTING foam tape to secure your images.

die cut the foliage from white cardstock and colour it with distress ink.

THANK YOU for stopping by today!

have a lovely SUNDAY!
