Today's card features an old Woodware stamp called 'Burst into Bloom'. I stamped it on to a piece of smooth white card using Versamark ink, along with one of the sentiments from the set, then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder. I then stamped and heat embossed the flower image again on a snippet of the same smooth white card, the coloured the image using waterocolour pencils. I used one of my circle Nesties to cut out a section of the coloured image, then placed it over the embossed outline image, as per the 'spotlight' technique, using 3D foam pads. I matted it on to some gold mirror card, distressing all of the edges before adding it to a white card blank.
