Greetings friends. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. One of the nice things about a large stamped image is that you have a lot of versatility. You can color the whole stamp for a colorful background or you can spotlight one part of the image with color for a dramatic effect. The advantage of the spotlight is that it is also a lot quicker!
For today’s card, I started by embossing the entire Rose Bouquet image as a background using white embossing powder on white cardstock. It is a subtle effect, but it adds a shiny and elegant background for the the central rose.
Next, I die cut the focal rose and leaves from some 140lb watercolor paper and colored them with watercolor pencils and a Dove blender pen. The leaves are glued to the card and the rose is popped up with a little foam tape.
The words on the card also come from the Rose Bouquet stamp set. They were simply stamped on white cardstock strips with black ink and then added to the card. As a final step, I added a few rhinestones for extra sparkle.
Here is a close up of the embossing and the coloring:
