Negative Space: Wonder

I found an interesting challenge today.  Sentimental Sundays challenge #138 is to decorate a negative space.  I've never tried this before.  It was really fun.

I used a spellbinder to cut the center out. 

I also cut a frame to go around the outside of it.

I put brown behind my negative space and use a pop dot to raise my image.

My  image is Wonder from Mo Digital.

I colored her with Derwent pencils.

My sentiment is from Market Street Stamps.

 I had fun with the inside too.  I used the same spellbinder die to cut the brown. I used white embossing powder to the flowers around the edges.

 The verse says:
If we are ever to enjoy life,
now is the time,
not tomorrow or next year....
Today should always be our most wonderful day!
