Wild Roses Freebie

Heads Up everyone!  There is a planned freebie event coming up.

This is my new image Wild Roses.  Now you may or may not know I've got close ties with Through The Craft Room Door.  They were my very first DT - to say I was scared was an understatement.  I'd only just done a guest design spot for the ABC Challenge which has now sadly closed.  Without the encouragement and support from the lovely ladies over there - some of them I still work with I wouldn't be here creating these lovely images for you all and be able to give you the opportunity for freebies!

We're planning a combined freebie event on the weekend of 4 / 5 February.  All you have to do is join Through The Craft Room Door Facebook Group to grab it.  Cara will be posting it for that weekend only.  That will be your only opportunity to get it as it's not even in my shop!

Here is my version coloured, you're likely to see a few around being coloured up by the Design Team for Through The Craft Room Door for your inspiration.

To create this I've used Copics and polychromos pencils (on the flowers), ProMarkers and polychromos pencils (on the leaves) and Chameleon Pens for the background.  I've already been asked by my own DT how I created the back ground so I'm thinking I probably need to do a tutorial.  I also need to experiment with Copics and ProMarkers to see if I can do something similar with those.  I know few people have Chameleon Pens.

Here's the black and white watermarked version of the image

My inspiration for this image was the wild roses that grew in my grandparents back garden.  All I remember is a mass of amazingly gorgeous flowers growing up against the garage.  I wanted to try and capture the beauty of them and be able to share it.

So here's my finished card

Added to the image is some embossing enamel.  It's been mounted onto some back card stock.  Both the image and the card stock have been distressed.

There are a few black gems and a sentiment from Scrapienic coloured with black ProMarker.

Hope to see you over at the Facebook Group for Through The Craft Room Door.  Did you know they have a blog challenge as well as the magazine.  You can post your blog entries into their Facebook Group with any designers image :D

Hope you enjoy the freebie which you can share in my Facebook Group SheepSki Designs and also in my new Challenge Blog (shhhh.... I've a DT call on at the moment)
