I started by sponging the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass in the top half and Tea Dye in the bottom. The flowers and leaves are stamps and dies by Clearly Besotted. I adhered the design piece on a stripy panel which I made by stamping Diagonal Stripes with Tea Dye ink on kraft card.
You can see in the close-up below that I did some inlay die-cutting for the 3 pink flowers. The purple flowers an the leaves are all die-cut and adhered on the card. To finish and put little dots if Liquid Pearls all over. So much for doing CAS! :) And to think I was inspired by Happy Little Stampers March CAS challenge where Sponging in the theme this month!
