One Australian Fan will win a Stampendous Stamp, a Dreamweaver Stencil (LJ size customer choice), and one Dreamweaver Stencils Regular Embossing Paste. Wow!!
Now on to my creation for this super fun blog hop! I used Stampendous Timeless Rose Rubber Stamp and Faber-Castell Gelatos in Bubble Gum, Mango, Margarita and Lemon, as well as Faber-Castell Mix and Match Pastel Pencils in Blue/Green. First I used Stampendous white Detail Embossing Powders to emboss my rose onto watercolor paper.
After embossing rose, I cut it out and colored it with Faber-Castell Gelatos. Don't work about being messy with this. It really doesn't need to look perfect because we will be blending it out.
Next spray with water lightly and then blend the colors (It helps to have a brush for each color so colors don't get to muddled). After blending you can go back over with specific colors to deepen color.
Then your left with this:
Repeat the same process with the leaves using Lemon and Margarita Gelatos. Once the leaves have dried you can add shading by using green(168) pastel pencil. Next cut 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" light grey card. Cut 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" dark grey cardstock, and cut at an angle. Stamp cardstock with Stampendous AS Cling Industrial Set paint chip using Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Stamp sentiment, add gold glitter ribbon, and foam tape flower as shown.
