Hidden numbers ...

Back again ...

This time I'm back to florals and the beautiful Uniko Chrysanthemum.



I began with die cutting the flower before stamping and watercolour.  I then die cut the number from the middle of the chrysanthemum - I also die the numbers a further four times so that I could stick and stack them.  I then adhered the flower back into the panel and added the raised numbers.  It is a layout I've used before but not with the inlaid die.

I used:
UNIKO Pure Florals Chrysanthemum Stamps and matching dies
Distress Inks - Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon and Spiced Marmalade.
Versafine Onyx Black
Dienamics Hign Rise number dies.

I'm entering the following challenges:

AAA Cards #64


Enjoy!
