Rennie Roses
There was another outing for the Altenew Rennie Roses stamp this week. Whilst looking for Rennie Mackintosh roses on Pinterest, I saw lots of art deco glass panels and wanted to recreate that look on a card. Since I couldn’t decide what colour to use, I heat-embossed the roses on two panels, one in silver and the other in gold. Next, using a Versamark pen, I drew in the characteristic sets of parallel straight lines and boxes. Again, these were heat-embossed in the appropriate colour powder. My pen was running out so I dipped the nib into some embossing ink. Unfortunately, I was a bit heavy handed with it and some seeped under the ruler which is why the silver one is a bit blotchy. To colour the roses, I wanted a bit of sparkle, so I used some Distress Mica stain and a fine paintbrush to colour the roses. For the green parts, I used watered down re-inker. I looked through my stash to find a sentiment that would fit in the gap and heat-embossed...
