As you can see I only used part of the image. I started out by embossing the daisy on watercolour paper using gold embossing powder. My first intentions were to watercolour using tombows, but that got squashed! So I went looking through my dies and found the one I used (green paper). In the center of the die is a solid square piece just big enough to put a small image, so I thought hey, I can cut part of the daisy and go from there. So that's what I did. After cutting it out I used copics to colour the daisy petals. Left the die in place and sponged some antique linen then very lightly added some frayed burlap. I sponged the edges of the green, beige and the card base using antique linen then some frayed burlap as well. Design paper is a piece I had from a couple of years ago, which was purchased at a stamping convention in Novi MI. It's by Paperloft.
Finishing touches - cream seam binding, and some very small pearls. Did you know that you can change the colour of your white pearls to what ever colour you choose? Well you can, with Copics. So I coloured my white pearls to a creamy-beige colour.
