Welcome
I wanted a card for an elderly friend who is having some health issues, and this is what eventuated.
I stamped and gold embossed this gorgeous rose, now discontinued, and sat and coloured it whilst watching a (50 over) cricket match. I coloured it with prismacolor pencils and some other very cheap pencils for the orange colour.
To add a little sparkle, I painted some WoS over the petals and leaves.
I mounted the fussy cut rose over some dark patterned paper (from the Kaiser craft Botanicals pad) after embossing the sentiment on it (a Rubbabubadoo stamp), mounted that onto an orange base and added a few sequins.

Lovely card, thanks for sharing with Sisters of Craft and good luck. Wendy DT x
It's GORGEOUS! Love the soft coloring of this pretty rose and the gold embossing was over-the-top. Like the combination of the elegant rose over that grid paper. Would never have thought to do this, and it's just so effective a design. Your friend will love it! This looks like a PSX image, but whatever the manufacturer, it's a lovely rose. TFS & Hugs
Stunning and gorgeous in so many ways. Love the color of the gold against the darks in the patterned paper - fabulous! ♥
Wonderful - the gold embossing on this makes it a standout!
Love the black graph paper as the backdrop for these beautifully embossed images. Fabulousness!
A gorgeous card and I really like how that rose SPARKLES.
What a lovely, rich looking rose!
Wow Maxine, I just love this one!! I am so glad you took that close up shot so I could see just how beautiful the embossed flower is! Wow, the soft colours and the shimmer are so amazing, and what a lovely contrast against the dark background! hugs :)
