These are the beautiful roses that my sister sent me for my birthday this year - such beautiful colors. I knew that I had to paint them!
So, I made the background (paints, stencils, stamps, stays-on ink, collage papers and white acrylic ink that I use in a mini mister), and started to collage the flowers with the idea to paint over them but have the papers still show through.
That did not go according to plan. It just didn't look right - no pics for that because I was frustrated and didn't think to take them then.
So, after letting it sit for a couple of days... yes, DAYS! I was going to quit but kept going. I covered that mess up with molding paste mixed with paint for texture.
I added the leaves with good old tissue paper. I added detail with markers, rub-ons and painted in the stems:
Lots of texture - I'm glad that I kept going and didn't quit. I still don't know if it's done but I'm happy with it:
