I stamped and embossed the rose onto SU Whisper White with white embossing powder. Then I scribbled the SU Regal Rose marker onto a CD case and used my aquapainter to watercolor the rose, then went back and added the Rose Red for some shading. After I had the rose, I went looking for a layout to use and chose this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I cut out the circle using a Nestie, and then used a new Spellbinders Lattice Medallion behind it. The medallion is not a perfect circle, so I tied knots on the longer ends with Hobby Lobby rufflly ribbon. That was mounted using popdots onto a 4x4 square of Swiss Dot embossed paper, which was matted with another white square, which was mounted onto the 5 x 5 1/2 card base. I punched the butterflies out of my first "trial run" rose. I adhered with popdots and added two pearls to each.
