Colour blending

I was supposed to be making a ruby wedding anniversary card - obviously I needed to use red, deep, and lots of it.  Now there's a colour blending challenge on at the moment at Make It Crafty to blend outside the colour family and I got a little distracted as you can see :)

Si I've not got to go back to the drawing board and do a RUBY card!!

The image I've used is a rubber stamp called roses of love from Make It Crafty.  I've used ProMarkers to do all the colouring of the roses.  The background is a combination of ProMarkers, Copics and black polychromos pencil.
Once I'd finished the image I framed it with some black card.  I knew I wanted to put it onto a stepper card and needed some design paper to march but that wouldn't overpower the image.

I've chosen some paper form Lili of the Valley to do this.  I've also used some more black card stock and come black self adhesive gems. 
Has anyone any tips of photographing steppers cards coz I really struggle to get a "nice" angle and get the whole card in :)

    Fabulous colouring of that pretty rose image, Andrea!
    No point me giving you any photography tips as mine usually turn out rubbish, though I have started using a bit of staging with a fabric backdrop and something to stand the card on! Have a fab week. Hugs, Lisa x

    Striking card - I too would like some tips on photographing stepper cards - but a fabric backdrop sounds good! Thanks for sharing with LOC.

    Gosh this is absolutely beautiful, your colour blending is amazing and I love the way the roses stand out on the otherwise plain card. It's truly beautiful. Thanks for playing along with us at Sparkles this month, hope to see you again.
