Birthday Roses

Good afternoon,

How's everyone feeling today? blog land still seems very quiet after the Christmas period, is work draining everyone's Mojo? I do hope it's that and not that you're all down with the horrid flu bug that's doing the rounds.

Anyway, enough rambling, todays card is a for a friend's birthday. Thankfully, I'll be seeing her at the weekend which meant that I could make the card more dimensional than I would if it was going in the post, which is perfect as I really wanted to use this beautiful digi image by Floppy Latte.

I printed the image three times and coloured the whole base layer, then all the roses and the three main leaves for the second layer and the centre of all the roses for the third layer. I then carefully cut all the pieces out and in between all the leaves and stems on the base layer and carefully curved the top two layers using my nail and finger, much as you would if you were curling florist ribbon. I then used a few foam pads underneath to mount them.

 

The sentiment was added on the computer prior to printing and the image was coloured with promarker's in the following colours: Duck Egg, Pear Green, Moss, Blush, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink and Dusty Rose.

 

To finish I edged the base card with a white boarder using my Opaque white gel pen.

 

I hope you like it, I really enjoyed making this one.

 

I would like to enter it into the following challenges:

Ooh-la-la - Happy Birthday

Until next time, happy crafting
