Hey everyone!
Right now I am at convention……I am sure I am having an absolute blast, LOL! I will let you know all the deets when I get back. I will have lots to tell you!
So this weeks challenge!
Isn’t that a super cute sketch?!
My submission,
I really love how this one turned out. I haven’t played with faux roses for a while……actually ever since my presentation at Brisbane Regionals. With this card I was actually going to do it in all brown tones for that vintage look…..but I just couldn’t do it….Cherry Cobbler was screaming at me to be pulled out of its slot in the ink caddy! LOL! I also then added Pretty in Pink and Old Olive. If you’re wondering how I stamped the main image, I stamped it with Early Espresso and then clear embossed it, but that was when I thought I was doing all brown tones. I used the Aqua Painter to colour my image.
To make these particular flowers I first did the Faux suede technique where you separate the papers fibres in two. This made the flowers more pliable to create the rolled petals. I used the Little Leaves die and cut it up for the leaves.
Don’t forget to check out the rest of the DT at the Inkspirations Challenge Blog and submit your design for all to see.
Bet you are having a blast at Convention Kirsty.
Love that you went with the Cherry, the flowers look fantastic in this rich red & those 3D roses are awesome – so lifelike! Beautiful! 🙂

It is now!) roses are a gorgeous addition to an already beautiful card – you’ve just got the knack, girl. What a blast Convention was, hey? I laughed so hard through your presentation (sorry).
