I had another idea with the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral. I thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if I embossed it in gold and did the layer like I did on my other one. I began by stamping several roses with Versamark Ink and embossing with gold embossing powder. I the cut the roses out in various layers. Before I assembled the roses I used a sponge dauber…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Good Morning! I hope everyone has their green on today. And how about dinner, are you having ham and cabbage?
