I used an image called "Sketchy Rose circle". I wanted to give my card a shabby chic flair, so I colored my image using soft pink and grey Promarkers before I added crackle paint to the whole image and sprinkled loose glitter on the roses. The die cut panel with the sentiment also got crackle paint.
For the leaves I used a brownish DP with text, added gesso, let it try then die cut the leaves using a Marianne die. The DPs, from my scrap pile, I distressed and added them to black panels. I also added some lace from my stash and 3 white pearls.
I'd like to enter my card in these challenges as well:
Fab 'n' Funky - #258 May Flowers
I love Promarkers - #268 Anything Goes
Everybody-Art-Challenge - #323 Happy Birthday
Perfectly Rustics - Use 3 of something(3 die cut leaves, 3 pearls)

Oh, I have never thought to use gesso before diecut a shape! These leaves are just amazing!!! When I can use again my Big shot, I want to try this technique! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Love the "liberty" look of these glittered roses and the gorgous green lace. They match well with the distressed backgrounds!
I am number 3 ooh I am late again hehe
May I ask you what is the effect using gesso before die cut the shape...I want to learn from you Pia
who knows I will buy a Bigshot..do you own also Big shot Pia?Or cuttlebug? which one do you think more better than the other one (email me please sweet Pia)
ok now about your card..Love the flower and the color and nice leaves there and you have a great sentiment to go and your lace is great too

So very pretty with the subtle shades in this lovely card. I've not tried the crackle paste yet (have some though!) and it looks very nice with this lline art rose. Loved the delicate gray lace against the vintage script paper too. I really liked the colors in this one, and they are not ones I'd think to use. Well done. Have a great week. TFS
