I kinda amped it up a bit, not quite intentionally. Just how things went. I stamped my flowers and butterfly in Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing. I did the same with the sentiment so that they would match. I used re-inkers to color them in with with an aqua painter. That gave me some deep colors. I used the gold paint in the center of the flowers and for splattering on the embossed layer. I used a touch of Nuvo drops to add a tiny bit of depth to the center of the red flower.
My sweet stamping buddy let me borrow some of her Easter stamps, so I was able to use this one. Love how well it goes with this set from Altenew.

Wonderful layout with your beautifully colored flowers and butterfly on the edge of the sentiment panel. The stripe embossed background and sheer polka dot ribbon add such nice detail. Love this!

Oh my, this is so gorgeous! I love the colors so much. I forget that rustic backgrounds can be done in colors so thank you for the terrific reminder on this! Hugs! ~Karen.
