Here is the card that I designed using the NEW Release Beauty Within from Flourishes. Talk about an absolutely BEAUTIFUL stamp set!! The images of the roses and iris are so pretty and the sentiments are fantastic too! I started by stamping the image of the stained glass roses onto white cardstock using black ink. This image matches perfectly with Labels Eleven S4-246 (Die #5) die template from Spellbinders™. Then I lined up the die template with the stamped image and used some tape to hold the template in place. I cut/embossed with the Wizard™ creating an elegant diecut shape. Next I colored the image using Copic markers. In the picture you can see I didn't color and do all of the shading in the center of all of the roses. I left some of them because I stamped the image of the roses a couple more times, colored the centers and cut then out for layering. Once I had all of the piece colored and cut out then I layered them and applied Glossy Accents from Ranger.I used the Wizard™ and Labels Eleven S4-246 Die #6 from Spellbinders™ to create a black mat and Floral Accent S4-199 to create white flourishes along the sides and I also added some tiny pearls.I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and then cut/embossed using the Wizard™ and Fancy Tags S4-235 die template from Spellbinders™. I added some dimension to the tag using 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ and then I added some pink velvet ribbon and pearls. I also stamped the image of the smaller rose from the Beauty Within stamp set, colored with Copics, cut out the image and added it to the tag.Here is a close-up of the roses. I love the look that is achieved by layering the rose petals.I also used the Flourish Impressabilities™ I2-1009 on the pink shimmer paper.
