Sweet Blossoms and Splats

 Welcome

I was tempted when Korin from Sweet'n'Sassy put up the In This Together set of digital stamps, and succumbed and bought them - it helped that there was no postage :)



I was inspired to colour it because of the current 30 day Coloring Challenge


This is the first image I have coloured, and I used my Polychromo pencils, then fussy cutting it. 


The background was made using some mica based water colour paints by Semco on light weight card, then after drying, it spent the night in the middle of a heavy book!.  


The sentiment was stamped in dark blue ink onto a snippet of the water colour paper.
Both panels were backed with dark blue card, and the main panel was mounted over a couple of layers of ribbon, and then the sentiment was added.


The inside was finished with a strip of washi.

(I did not use the embossing option)
