Here is a close up...


Getting the crackle look:
     Once the rose is assembled.  Color it with a coordinating Copic Marker and allow it to dry several minutes. Cover it with a light coating of Crackle Effects and allow it to dry over night.  The Crackle Effects will draw out some of the Copic color giving your flower a multi color effect when it's dry.  Be sure to double check to see if any spots were missed.

Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win the punches that create the Floral Rose.  All you have to do is leave a comment on any or all the posts from now until Midnight June 28th letting us know what you thought of our projects from now till then.  The more comments you leave the more times you will be entered into the drawing.  So comment every day for more chances to win.  Also if you are a follower of our blog or facebook let us know and we will enter you in for each site you follow us on.  Plus If you follow our designers blogs let us know who and we will enter you in for each designer you follow.  We will draw a lucky winner on the morning of June 29th and announce it on the blog.
