All About the Love...

is the title of Challenge #148

 at 

Dream Valley Challenge blog.

Our sponsor this week is

 PINK GEM DESIGN

I received "ROSE" from the Funky Flower collection.

This digi comes as a single flower in colour 

and as a line drawing to colour yourself.

I decided to alter one of my 25p mdf boards...

 so I took the images into my graphics programme

 and used them to create the main decor paper,

which I printed and cut to size.

 I glued the paper directly to the board 

and sanded around the edges.

 Next I used distress inks and a water brush to add

a subtle bit of colour to the smaller roses...

 This really throws the main pre coloured images forward.

I then used promarkers to age the white...

and add shadow to the main blooms.

 To heighten the "luxury" of this piece

I used Debbie Moore's Gold Embossing powder

around the edges.

 The edges came out a bit uneven, but I like the effect.

 Another Papermania mini alphabet stamp set

and some clear embossing powder to create

the legend

"It's All About The Love"

 And it even matches my wallpaper :D

Enjoy :D XXX
