How do you like this image - isn't it divine! I received it in a RAK from my very dear Midnight Madness Design Team Member and friend, Gunn - it has been sitting on my desk for ages waiting for some colour to hit it!!
I saw this image used on one of Gunn's cards and fell in love with it, so it was a extra blessing when I saw it was included amongst the other items in the RAK!! Thank you Gunn - I hope I did it justice!!
I played with the idea of cutting the rose and popping it up but decided to colour it and try to add dimension that way - I used SU Chalks and a Blender Pen - I love the depth that you can achieve with this method. The collage background has had light touches of chalks added!
The DP is from the box of offcuts and is DCWV La Creme - it is a favourite of mine, although I don't seem to get to it enough - I added a tag from one of my new Spellbinders Fancy Labels - I LOVE this set!! Some braid was threaded through and the finishing touches of those gorgeous copper Kaiser half pearls - how can you go wrong. !?!?
This card is for the following Challenges:
Stamp Insanity - Lace
Some Odd Girl - Girlie
Crafty Little Place - Anything Goes
Scrap Creations - Anything Goes
