Engagement card...

First I drew  a rose and gave it a quick wash with watercolour paint.



















then I shaded it with prisma pencils. Next I colored the background using neocolours which blend so beautifully.  I then masked off the rose and stamped a script image all over the background.















I added 2 small kraft tags and a heart and lace at the bottom, and rubbed some silver wax around the edges. Finally i mounted it all to a square,white card blank.

  3. Darcy, this turned out beautiful! How did you mask off the rose? just with paper?
