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……

It's such a beautiful image and I like the effect of the script behind it. I love the rich red colors, and the long rectangular shape adds to the elegant feel of your card. Such a sweet, clean, yet decorative card - spotted it on MIM!
