I removed the backing sheet and attached it to a piece of watercolour card that I had previously coloured in using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks. I had also cut a second one out and I decided to use the frame and stuck it towards the top of the card using it as a square design. I turned the Lily topper so it formed a diamond and stuck it to the card using foam pads to give it some dimension. Finally, I added some black Nuvo drops in each corner. So if you think this sounds int...
