After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and some Stampin Up going grey around it. Once the colored image was layered, I added some silver brads then set it aside. Taking a grey panel, I dusted off my Sizzix Tim Holtz brick wall embossing folder and dry embossed it using my big shot then lightly stippled going grey ink over the dry embossed images. Once the dry embossed panel was added to my card, I also added the layered image panel before stippling garden green ink around the edges of the card. I then took some scrap card stock and punched out several flowers and greenery, adding texture using a dusty crimper, embossing stylus and a soft mouse pad. I then adhered them to the card using Ranger Glossy Accents. The final touch was adding bling to the centers of the flowers and highlighting parts of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens. I'm so happy with how it turned out since my migraines have been really active again.
