A Rose By Any Other Name…

This has to be one of my very favorite stamp sets.

Fifth Avenue Floral I have seen some really incredible cards made out of this set, and I think I am gonna take a shot at making a few more. Now I know I used the “old In Colors”, but I wanted to have one last woooowhooo with one of the hardest for me to give up this year and that is Kiwi Kiss.

Not only did I goof around with not current colors…My technique is very interesting as well. I wonder if my friend Leona can tell what I used before I get to telling you.

Leona came across these crayons by Crayola called True Colors and told us about them…of course I had to have them. I used these crayons (see Peggy Sue I told you I was coloring) to color and blend these roses. I used baby oil as the medium to break down the wax and blend the color.

It was soooooo much fun! I used stickles for the glittery effect and tiny glass micro beads for the centers of the flowers.

Back to getting on track with the NEW Stampin Up stuff.

Hope you enjoy!!!
