For my project I didn't want to use any of the paper collections.  I chose to show how well this stamp set works for creating your own background pattern.  I used SugarPlum, Heather and White Daisy cardstock. the ink color are Heather, SugarPlum and Black.  I also coloured the butterflies in using the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush. This set of 6 cards came together so quickly, and the stamp set has such diversity.  What will you create?

For my project I wanted to keep it simple, so I used the new watercolor pencils, and I really love how smoothly they color images, and the blend together seamlessly.  To blend the colors I used the clear Shimmer Brush because I wanted that shimmer on the card.  The image is a bit larger than an A2 card, so I decided to create a frame for the image using the new Rectangle Thin Cuts.  The final touches were adding some clear gems.  The frame is cut from the pink stripe paper in the Something Fierce collection.

Here is a close up to see the shimmer on the banner and the flowers.  You can also see the tones of color in the banner and on the large pink flowers.
