TLC200 - Faux silk with a pop ...
Stamped image in rose on white & cut out just the flower tops. Glued them onto rose c/s and set aside. (I wanted a fuller looking bouquet, so stamped 2 images worth for the 'pop'.) Stamped image on tissue paper with rose red, olive green & set aside to dry. Crumpled tissue paper tight & then applied glue stick to entire rose c/s w/image, put tissue paper over & tapped the paper down so as to not smooth out tissue too much. I punched 2 holes by the stems so I could add the ribbon in later.
Cut image panel, matted on white then burgundy & bumped up on dimensionals after tying ribbon. Base is rose red with rose DP cut in 1/2 & flipped. White was a little too bright, so I added pink mulberry paper.
Sentiment is stamped on white, stippled with rose & matted on burgundy circle.
What a great technique. I've got 3 others in the wings that aren't assembled yet. There's a lot of down time where you need to let the glue stick dry before assembling, so I was able to keep going & going & going ...
Thanks for looking
(ETA: Just noticed after looking at picture in gallery ... I think I must have rubbed some of the tissue off when I was tying the bow ... that blob of rose showing through by the stems shouldn't be there)

This is great. (I think the blob looks good, too.)
The pop sure looks to be worth the extra step!
