Continuing on my shabby SU! journey, today I bring you another fabulously gorgeous retired set, Serenity. I love this image with the woman and child. Unfortunately, The stamp is the size of a background stamp, so this card is huge -- 9"x 8.25". Although it's on a card base, it's really more of an art piece.
The vines and flowers around the image are from Definitely Decorative Toile Blossoms (retired). They are each watercolored and are very, very fussily cut apart to create the look I wanted. Most of the vines/blossoms are adhered to the base of the image, but some are adhered under the central image, giving it more of a 3-D look. Baby pearls complete the flowers' centers.
If anyone is wondering, the watercoloring is done with an Aquapainter, pulling the color directly off the ink pad. I'm sure that Stampin' Blends would work just as well!
