Going Tropical

 

I really love how Sue Vine created her background. Its a great backdrop for the flowers and stems and creates dimension. Thanks so much for your inspiration Sue!

To create the background, I stamped the leaves in Versamark... then heat embossed with White Emboss Powder. Once that was done, I used a sponge dauber to gently add Crumb Cake ink to the background around the leaves. I added some sprays of dots using the stamp within the 'Beautifully Happy' stamp set.
The flowers are a blend of two colors - Mango Melody and Polished Pink. After inking the stamp in Mango Melody, I used a sponge dauber to ink just the edges of the stamp to get a blend of colors. I added a Wink of Stella' to each flower to make them shine. The last picture shows a bit of what the flowers look like (although, it looks so much better in person).

Thanks for dropping in!
