Soft pink, blush, olive green and gold...oh my! What a beautiful color combination and even more beautiful inspiration picture over at Papertrey Ink for the February Blog Hop Challenge.
I was inspired most by that beautiful bloom on the right side of the picture, as well as the gold ribbon running down the left side. What I did was ink up my In Bloom Impression Plate with Versamark Ink, embossed a white cardstock panel, then gold embossed it.
I colored in the remaining areas with Copic Markers. I've never tried this technique before, and I think I will do it more often! I mounted the panel onto a blush card base after inking the edges, bordered the image with gold washi tape and then gold embossed the sentiment.

MISTI
Neenah Solar White 110lb Cardstock
