I love the colors of the Embellish Magazine Challenge ... so perfect for my favorite Pink Paislee Queen Bee papers.
And since the theme is backgrounds, I broke out a fabulous large floral climbing blooms stamp I purchased from Impress, as well as adding a little French text background as well.
I used this week's 2 Sketches 4 You for my design.
The floral image was stamped in Charcoal on the Pink Paislee paper. I stamped off the French text background several times leaving a bit more ink along the bottom and top of the panel.
Next I added three sizes of tiny white pearls to the centers of the flowers. I paper pieced several flowers on very pale yellow DP and added a black gem flower center.
I finished with a texty block sentiment attached with foam tape for dimension.
Ooooh this is so beautiful!
Thanks for playing at 2S4Y
