Paradise!

Good morning everyone. It's time for my new post for the Polkadoodles challenge blog. As you know all of our challenge are now anything goes, so here is my make.

I've used the Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set. I stamped onto my colouring card with a clear Versamark embossing ink, then added clear embossing powder over it and heat set it all. I then used 4 distress inks to create the background. You can use any you like but I used Seedless Preserves, Barn Door, Wild Honey and Mustard Seed. This really makes the clear embossing pop and adds great texture. I then stamped and created the message topper in the same way. I added my squiggly line around the edges and mounted the sentiment using 3D foam pads. Finally I stamped some flowers and foliage, coloured them with the darkest distress ink, added some pearls in the centre and glued in place.
