I did a smooshed background with Oxide inks on mixed media cs, then trimmed it down with a stitched rectangle die.
I die cut the flower twice - once out of white cs and once out of purple, and also die cut the sentiment out of the purple. I glued the white outline flower down and then used just the internal bits from the purple die cut and inlaid them into the white.
It's popped up on a bit of fun foam for dimension.
Because I used water to dilute the Oxide inks for the smooshing, I'm also adding it to CAS Watercolour where this month's theme is birthday.
I love how the white outline of the flowers makes the rich petals look even richer! And a beautiful background! Love all that purple!
