Crimson Rose

Crimson Rose - I adore this image by Michelle Perkett and she is the sale image this week at Michelle's Etsy shop. I love how her skirt looks like an upside down rose.

When I orginally planned this card, I was going to do her in yellow, because red is so hard to do and it bleeds so much, but the challenge this fortnight at Color Me Classroom (which is where I take online Copic classes at) was to use red or pink. This challenge was set preciely because red is so hard to work with; and I am so glad that I did use red. I love the depth of it. I did not add any Stickles because I wanted the richness of the crimson to be the main focus. DP is DCWV, the All Dressed Up stack.

I did add some bling to the outer edges of the card and in the centers of the o's in the sentiment. Sentiment is by Hot Off the Press. The red ribbon was off of a Christmas package. The 2 roses on the side are Jolee's.

I hop that you will pop over to Michelle Perkett's challenge blog to see what some of my other team mates have done with this image. It is sure to be such a treat to see.
