Stipple Rose Colouring

Who loves roses?  The large rose stamp (Stipple Rose) has always caught my eye in our catalogue. I thought it would be great for some of the different colouring techniques and I was right.  Here is what I’ve been doing this evening.

I used my blender pen and Stampin’ Pastels to shade the rose, building up the colour in some places.  There are some darker areas on the stamped image which I used to guide me to places to put some stronger colour.  The colours I used are Rose Red on the flower, and a base of Always Artichoke on the leaves with some Old Olive added.  I also did a touch of highlighting on the leaves with my white gel pen.  When I was done I added some Crystal Effects for a dewy finish. 

Check back next week to see what it looks like when I add it to a card.  I’m having a little break this weekend but your regular scheduled program will resume after the long weekend!

Cheers,  Sue
