Hi, it's Therese and I am so happy to be hosting the inspiration challenge for July. These roses were a gift to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and I thought perfect to share as inspiration. Firstly I stamped the flowers and leaves from Amazing You Stamp Set and colored the images with Altenew Artist Markers.
Then I used the Shimmer Ink Sprays to add a spattered background and finally a sentiment from Beautiful You Stamp Set.
I have linked a video below. So you can watch the process to see how it all came together.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
