Dreamy Papaya Collage

I've admired the Papaya Collage stamp set for quite some time, but only recently added it to my collection. I love the vintage feel to it, and especially love the pretty frame included in this set.

I embossed the finely detailed frame in white and then sponged over it using Crumb Cake ink. I then masked the embossed image so that just the inside area was exposed. I stamped that with the pretty foliage image inked in Pistachio Pudding, then sponged it some more using Pool Party ink. The result was a soft, dreamy looking background.

The remaining images were just stamped, watercolored and then cut out. Here's a closer look...

Not sure what took me so long to get this set, but I'm sure it's going to be a favorite!
