Floral Paraphernalia

Welcome

I made this card for a special friend, and spent an enjoyable afternoon water colouring it.
The stamp is the  Chocolate Baroque stamp, Floral Paraphernalia slim line, and it is so long, I couldn't fit  the last part of it on the panel!


It was stamped and black embossed before painting


When it was dry, I added some silver splatter


The sentiment and edges of the main panel were silver embossed. I used an embossing pen on the main panel edges, then dipped them in silver ep and heated.  I matched the edges of the sentiment panel by running a silver pen around it. 


The inside was finished with two layers of washi tape. 
Unfortunately the silver tape did not photograph well.
