These colors are from last week's Color Challenge on SCS, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze & Crumb Cake. Dessert was to use something glossy, glittery or flower soft.
Here's what I came up with.....
When I used my "Whacked Embossing Folder" on the side, I had it backwards so I have a debossed look rather than embossed. I really liked the look of it better in this case, so I kept it.
I rubbed a couple of styrofoam balls together over a plastic sandwich bag then added a couple drops of Soft Suede re-inker to it and mashed it together. It gives a real nice "bumpy" look to the center of the flower.
I sponged the edges a bit with Crumb Cake to soften the edges. Ususally I like a crisp look but sometimes it makes life more interesting to do something different.
