Manhattan Elegance

I don't know why, but I can't wrap my head around the fact that this stamp set is called Fifth Avenue Floral...I keep calling it Manhattan Flower and I've even labelled it that way on my shelf, otherwise I'd never find it! LOL!!!

I was blurfing a couple of evenings ago and came across this stunning technique. I watched the video tutorial on Patty Bennett's blog and was just amazed with how easy this was. And it truly was easy...toughest part was waiting for the paper to dry, and the flower just got more beautiful as it dried. 

The shimmer white paper adds a very pretty sparkle to the rose and it catches the light beautifully. I attached the flower with dimensionals to some regal rose which I cut out with my Labels 3 Nestabilities. 

The card base is white, followed by a layer of Rose Red. Next I ran So Saffron through the Big Shot with the 'friends' texturz embossing template then I pierced around the edge for more detail. Three circles of Pink Pirouette complete the layout, which is for the Corrosive Challenge #11. I added the ribbon in place of the sentiment because of the words in the background. 

I used the same colours for the flower, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Rose Red, So Saffron. I whipped up six flowers in no time flat...now, what shall I do with the rest of them??!!?? 

Thanks for stopping by!
