I'm such a fan of Danielle's hand lettered sentiment minis, and this new one might be my favorite yet.
I embossed the sentiment in white, and then I added color using distress inks and a waterbrush. I first colored in the obvious elements - the little laurels surrounding the phrase, but then I decided I wanted them to pop a bit more, so using the waterbrush, I very carefully added an outline to each of the elements.
The white mat was adhered directly to the card base and I popped out the stamped panel.
