My Project for
 this Challenge is:-

Flower Border 2 Digi Stamp

To begin with I used a Pre-cut Roses Filigree Square Card

(Hobby Craft)

which I shaded the Filigree Edging,
with Dark Purple Chalk around the outside,
Pastel Puprle Chalk on the rest,
and on the Rose cutouts I used Deep Pink Chalk

(Decorative Pastel Chalks - Dovecraft)

I then Matt and Layered it up with Pearlised Dark Purple Paper
and Pearlised Light Purple Card  

(both Ross Papers)

Next I printed off the Image

  on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens

Buttercup

Blossom

Fushia Pink

Orchid

Lilac

Amethyst
Purple
Plum

Apple

Pear Green

Marsh Green
Olive Green
Moss

Burnt Umber

Walnut
Shale

I then Backed it on to some Meduim Brown Victorian Wooden Flooring
(picture from Victorianflooring.com)
 to give it the effect of being in a Wooden Frame.

On the Words 'Give Thanks'
I added some Holographic Black Glitter

(Glitter Magic)

And on the Roses I added some Glossy Accents
(Ranger)
to make them pop.

For the Paper Roses, I 1st started with 3 Cream Paper Roses,
(Craft)
Which I sprayed with a water mix of Pastel Purple Mica Powder,
and when that dried it looked to light so I then made
another water mix with Mid Purple Mica Powder
(Sample Pots)
When they had fully dried I went around the edge of each Petal
with Violet Shimmer Sparkles
(DoCraft),

I then atempted to make a Bow using a scrap of 
Verigated Purple Glitz Ribbon 
(Kanban)
that I had in My Scrap Box
but unfortunately I didn't have enough to make it work properly
so I added the 3rd Flower on top so it looked like extra leaves.

Finally when I added the 2 Roses to the Side 
I thought they looked a bit plain
so I added a nice little Die Cut Flourish
(so sorry I cant remember who's it is)
made from Copper Card, which I found in the Scrap Box as well.

I'd like to enter this Card in the
