A Good Idea


White-on-white and lots of lovely texture - that was the game plan for this one . . .


 My first plan was to  brayer the cardstock with the various colors before die cutting the flowers.  But I decided to add the colors after die cutting so that the attractive, recessed veins on the petals would stand out.  Much more interesting, yes?

To add some subtle glimmer, I've glued on a few silver sequins, burying them under the foliage so that the holes in the sequins don't show.  That's probably being overly anal, but there it is . . .
