I coloured the image with a combination of Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils. They were then fussycut leaving a narrow white border. Once matted with black cardstock and trimmed again, foam tape was added to the back to give them dimension.
The background began as a 6 x 8 inch rectangle of patterned paper. I have so much designer paper that I decided to make an effort to use some as the start of mixed media projects. Circle stamps were added with Cornflower Blue Archival ink. Splatter dots and an asterisk border were applied to the background with Cobalt Archival ink. White embossing paste was scraped through TCW's Tiny Circles stencil for more texture. The two fishtail flags were hand cut from a border on the patterned paper. Two sizes of silver snowflakes were punched from metallic art paper and scattered over the background.
The sentiment was printed on white cardstock, trimmed, and matted with black. Each segment was popped up on foam tape. A Prima layered fabric flower was adhered to the top right corner. Two Idea-ology Typed Tokens were added with silver brads below the flower and a tiny white ribbon bow bridged the gap. The outside edges of the background were inked with black Big Brush Pen. The background was then matted with black cardstock to frame it.
