I've used Oxide inks on glossy cardstock, drying between colours. I then masked off a circle where I wanted my flower head to go, and added more ink around that. After removing the mask I then buffed the shine with a soft tissue. I've added some stamping and stencilling in the background for interest. My flower was stamped and then I stamped the flower head again and clear embossed with EP, coloured and fussy cut before adding with 3d foam. The sentiment was also stamped and clear embossed.
The rest of the DT have some great inspiration, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.
Thanks for calling in,
