Beccy's Place Thinking of You

I have been a follower of Beccy’s Place for a long time and am therefore lucky to have collected a large number of free images. I am however ashamed to admit that upto now I have only ever coloured one in L I keep intending to join in the monthly challenges and never seem to get round to it so I made a special effort for this one. The challenge this month is to use any floral image from Beccy’s Place.

The one I have used was a freebie (still available!) and I have based the colours of red and black on the roses vellum background which is a very deep red with black in it. I coloured the rose on the image/sentiment to match and created many layers for the vellum base and the image. I used Fiskars punch to create the layered element on the left hand side and added some ribbon and a bow. I added 2 gems to the corners and declared it finished. I added some glossy accents to the flower and leaves but not sure that you can see it very well in the photo.

I am trying to get myself better organised and have created a schedule which should allow be to be better focused on what needs making and when. I like to have a balance between DT work but also with other projects I want to work on and thus far my list is allowing me to be more structured with my creativity and get more projects done. Time will tell if this continues……
