Rose Trio

I have Blog Candy in the post above.

Ends Friday 19th. 

Now this card that  I'm about to show you today 

is a bit of an odd ball because as I was making it

I kept thinking what if I do this, what if  I just add

and what if I tweak it a bit here and there,

so much so that the card is nothing like I had 

planned out in my head.

I am pleased to say though that I like it very much.

Phew!!!

Time for another challenge over at 

Crafting From The Heart

#99 Anything Goes.

The sponsor for this week

is

Beccy's Place

I have chosen to work with a digi called

'Rose Trio'

So I started with the premise that I would 

colour the image with my Papermania

water colour pencils which I did.

Then I had the notion to colour up an identical image

and place one on top of another. 

Whilst colouring up the second image I sort of thought

what if I put one behind a sheet of vellum to mute it down a bit.

It was only at this point I thought I had better go and sort through

my pink stash of papers for a paper to go with the image that 

I had already coloured twice!!

Second Phew as I found this freebie paper

by Sally Moret 2012 and cardstock in pink and green 

that matched perfectly. 

Next up I decided to cut a frame using 

Sizzix  Scallop rectangle die 657905 

which was actually  a tad smaller than my image.? 

Not to worry I thought.

 Next bright idea was to layer the design paper

 on a green base then one of the images,

the vellum ,the die cut scallop and put the second image

over the top scrunching the flowers and leaves slightly to just

 overhang the frame work.

By this time I'm on a roll so added stickles  in Diamond and Holly

 to the top roses and leaves.

The rose charm happened to be on my desk so had to get used as well.

I die  cut a small tag from the pink card and vellum  and used

a silver sticker for the sentiment at which point 

I thought enough is enough.!!!!!

You can just see in this close up the first rose  image

 covered with vellum which is behind the scalloped frame.
