Roses are Red

Hello there and a warm welcome to my blog  :)  I have another of my samples to share with you today, from the Chocolate Baroque tv shows in April.  I have used stamps from the Rose Tree and Amazing Mackintosh Words sets; Pearlescent paints, gold embossing powder, Versamark ink, gold pen.

On a piece of black card I stamped and embossed the tree image in gold, then coloured it with pearlescent paints.  I love these paints - they give my work a beautiful sheen.

 Next I took some spare black card and stamped and embossed a couple of butterflies and the ladybird in gold, then cut them out.  I painted them as before.

I matted the focal panel onto gold mirror card and attached it to a white base card, then I added the butterflies and ladybird with 3D gel glue.  
  

On some more spare black card I stamped a sentiment from the Amazing Mackintosh Words set and embossed it in gold.  I cut the sentiment into two small panels and added gold pen around the edges.
  

I'm really pleased with this card, it's a simple but elegant design that could be used for a variety of occasions.
Thank you for dropping by today, I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will pop in again soon  :)
