Hi all, today brings us another bi-weekly challenge from The Ribbon Reel, and we have got some gorgeous inspiration for you this week!
This challenge has been picked by Clare Buswell, from Clare's Creations and Gallery Idol fame!!
Below is the beautiful picture Clare has chosen for us this week:

And here is my take:

I have stamped in Versamagic Sea Breeze the beautiful crochet lace mat by Hero Arts, and hand cut out to layer over some gorgeous yellow twill and green loop trim from The Ribbon Reel shop.
The corners are from Waltzingmouse Stamps, stamped in Versamagic Turquoise Gem, and the sentiment is also from WMS, stamped in Versafine Smokey Grey.

I took my inspiration for the focal point directly from the picture, and used the smaller open rose from WMS Roses in Bloom, coloured with my watercolour pencils, as are the two leaves.
I stamped and coloured the rose 3 times for some dimension, it's a great image for decoupage.

A little close up of the sparkle I added with some Crystal Ice and Gold Stickles to the flower and leaves.

Finally added some gold pearls to the corners and a green pearl to the flower centre.
Do stop by the rest of the DT over at The Ribbon Reel, they have some gorgeous inspiration waiting for you!
