I layered the rose to create a 3d look. I did this by first stamping the image from the Fifth avenue floral SU set twice. Then cutting out the center part of the rose of one of the images. Then I cut out the center out of that, so it created a hole. When I placed the cut out back on top of the rose it looks like the center is inside the outer rose petals. I used brown see through ribbon and the sentiment is from the Warmest Reguards SU Set.

The colours are Close cocoa, cream, Natural Ivory and DS paper Spring Fever.
We had a winter thunderstorm here this morning and in the afternoon. My poor daughter nearly got soaked when I picked her up from school.
See ya

I used the lily flower from the Fifth Avenue Floral set and created a tiger lily from it.
I used Vanilla card and Whisper white card for the centre flower. Stamp the image in black then using real red color the centre, then with pink passion go over the read and down the sides of where you colored. The using either the water pen or blender pen just smudge the colours together. I then used Pretty in pink and coloured the rest of the petals. You can do the same with copics. I then drew a black line down the centre then using the spritzer with the black created the speckles. I used a gold pen to colour the stamins.

I love this new stamp set called Fifth Avenue Floral from Stampin' Up!

Firstly I stamped the image with Not quite Navy then using copic markers I coloured in the rose starting with the dark colours to out line the edges and any shadows created by light shining on the rose, then I used a medium blue and blending in the dark using circles I left centre areas for the light blue. With the light blue I blended the whole petal to give a even coat.

I used the Bella Bleu Designer Paper series from SU and cut out a square 6.3cm or approximately 6 square of the paper. I then cut out from the Not quite Navy card 7.3cm square. I added the dots then stuck the rose with Dimension onto the 6.3 square, then stuck that square onto the 7.3 square. The background size is 9.8 square and the Not Quite Navy border is 10.5cm square. The stock card is kraft cut to 11.3cm by 11.3 cms

I hope you like it.
