Awash with Flowers

This is my first attempt using the new SU Awash with Flowers stamp set. I used Summer Sun and Cameo Coral cs, watercolor paper and Pink Flamingo dsp. I colored the stamps with my watercolor crayons and then misted with water before stamping. To add a little pizzaz I used my Pinking Hearts corner punch on the dsp and then added some of the new satin real red ribbon. The sentiment comes from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes.
