<p>Then I cut out some of the flowers from Shery&#8217;s new coloring book, <strong><a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Color-Blooms-Coloring-Book-for-Cardmakers-Crafters-and-Mixed-Media-Artists-P5633686.aspx">Color Blooms</a></strong>, and added on the background panel with some adhesive runner.</p>
<p>For the sentiment, I stamped and heat-embossed one of the sentiments from <strong><a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Kathryns-Big-Wishes-Dees-Artsy-Impressions-P5623570.aspx">Kathryn&#8217;s Big Wishes stamp set</a></strong> on a piece of black cardstock. I added on the panel with 3D foam tape.</p>
<p>I added the finished panel on a black card base with adhesive runner and added some of the clear 4mm dropplets from Pretty Pink Posh.</p>
