Budding Roses with a touch of pencils

Happy Tuesday!

I'm back today with another throw back. This time I've coloured up the Budding Roses. Once again I've turned to pencils, mostly because I got some new ones that I wanted to try. I love the deep purple against the kraft card, don't you?

I've used sequins from the Peacock Tails mix. The hello die comes with the Double Stitched Layering Rectangle Dies and the embossed sentiment is from the Tweet Tweet Friends set.

The side view shows that the sentiment strip is raised from the coloured panel. I used foam tape for that. Also the Hello sentiment is raised; here I cut it out four times and glued the four together to get the dimension. 

Here is a close-up photo of the colouring right after I finished colouring it up, before I turned it into a card.

Have a great summer, everyone!
