Guest Designer at PBSC - Reminder

Today I've used a lovely tulip image called Overflowing (31-062) from Penny Black.  I have paired with the Geometric Frames (51-649) die.  I like how this frame looks like a window box when it's filled with flowers. :)

I used the Diagonals (65-019) - Penny Black embossing folder with light green card stock for the background.  I then stamped the pretty tulips in black and heat embossed with clear before watercolouring with Distress inks.

I popped up the box of flowers to add dimension and added a simple sentiment (Happy Snippets 30-358) in black ink.

Close-up ...
I hope you'll check out the challenge and play along, if you haven't already done so.  Thanks again to Helen and the team for choosing me to Guest Design this month!!
