This was only my second use of this Lisa Horton Stencil, Die and Embossing Folder set.  I coloured what we're to become the dry embossed elements with Distress and Oxide inks with my Clarity stencil brushes.  Once dry embossed and die cut I coloured the background using watercolours.  I used a Presscut Embossing Folder's on the base.  I further embellished with John Next Door Mallow flower dies which I layered to create the flowers.  

I used one of my Clarity Crafts stamps to add the sentiment and finally finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x
