The inspiration photo, from the Matthew Williamson Spring 2014 collection:
It's very flashy. ha. These are some of the things I took from it: the popped up flowers, the translucency underneath the popped up florals, the mix of white and cream, and the flashy pants (which I translated into gold glitter, no neon yellow for me!).
I white-heat-embossed florals onto a kraft tag base, and then did some translucent-type watercoloring over them.
The sentiment was also white-embossed, but onto a strip of cream cardstock. I helped the lettering come back to life with some subtle watercoloring as well.
I had to pop up at least one flower, didn't I? And pop it a gold, glittery center. I hung it from a smaller, vellum tag.
