Quirky and Elegant

Another posting while time permits!
Using the Quirky Trees set again and one of the cottages, the images were stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. The background was kept simple blending Broken China distress ink with the aid of the Splodge Mat, because the images are embossed any ink simply wipes away. I used Pro-markers with nibs to colour in pastel colours.
Finishing touches were die-cuts to which I added distress inks, punched butterflies and Perfect Pearls.
