TMR Floral

 Hi Everyone, my DT post for today is for 

 The Male Room Challenge

After looking through my Christmas stamps, I decided to use the Christmas Roses and the oval leaves from the same set, stamped and embossed in gold. I then coloured both in DI's. The robin was found in my bits box, already coloured, and he was just what I wanted for this male card. Both sat on my desk for weeks, with me wondering how to use them. I found a sketch online that helped me place them, so off to my dies. I cut the oval and dry embossed it.  I added the same green as the leaves to wipe over the embossing. I flipped it and placed the oval to enable the flowers to show.

 The flowers were added with 3D pads onto the leaves, and they were then 3D'd onto the oval. The Robin also had 3D pads added and then placed onto the oval. I wasn't sure which sentiment to choose, but this popped out to me. It was stamped and embossed in gold. The flowers, leaves, and sentiment were then painted over with a gold shimmer pen. Next, I used gold paint to splatter onto the whole card. It's a lovely effect in real life.
