A pretty bouquet for a friend. I've had this stamp set for ages and never figured out how to use it ... it didn't have packaging/instructions.
I tried a couple of different things including this, then saw it in a few pictures and realised how it should look, however I liked the loose casual random look this has.
I used Ranger Distress Inks for the stamping, some antique gold Perfect Pearls for splatter, some gold Versacolor for circles and dots and Ranger Stickles for sparkle. The panel is matted onto gold paper and then onto a white base card.
