- Using a piece of watercolor paper (smooth side) emboss the Floral Background image with embossing ink and gold embossing powder. (I stamped 3x to get a nice image). Heat emboss. Once cool, drop watercolor powders of choice onto the misted paper. Gently mist further to get desired result. Use heat tool to dry quickly or allow to dry set aside.
- Watercolor flower centers if desired.
- Die cut flowers, circles, ferns and white circle border as shown in photos. Assemble and ink blend, as desired. Sewing the center circle can be done after ink blending and splattering.
- Heat emboss both sentiments. Fussy cut gold one and cut with trimmer for white bottom piece. Add clay hearts if desired.
- Blue background layer is cut using a Deckle trimmer.
