ABC Challenge ... R is for

Roses

What a hard one to do LOL!!! I would have loved to have had the time to create my own flowers for this challenge ... but Parcel Force keep bringing me exam papers to mark ... so very little timne is left for crafting. In fact this week and next I will be lucky to make anything but my Design team cards.

Anyway as time is little I stuck to mulberry roses for the challenge!


I coloured the image in using distress inks and matted it onto pink dp. I chose to keep to a simple colour scheme of pink and blue. I added some lace and then blue mulberry roses layers onto while mulberry flowers. I kept the stems on a couple of the roses and twisted them round a bamboo kebab stick.

Do take a peek at the other DT blogs and I look forward to visiting you and seeing what you come up with.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Willow
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: My Minds Eye Magnolia
Embellishments: mulberry flowers, lace from stash
