This is the challenge sketch:
Maybe a little random but that's me ;-)
Back to the project - I used my Blendabilities™ markers To colour the Love is Kindness stamp image - blush (skin tone pack), light & medium calypso coral tulips, wild wasabi leaves & a little light smoky slate on the newspaper blended with the colour lifter. I fussy cut the bouquet, burnished the flower petals for more dimension & mounted it over another stamped image (coloured in the lightest blendies colour only). Click on the pics for a bigger image.
Here's a peek of the choc inside the slider - a Lindt Creation divine hazelnut block. Yum!
