Oh boy! This is way gorgeous!!! Wonderful with the new colors too! I really like how you combine the Lovely Leaves with the Roses in Winter. Looks like they're from the same stamp set here. TFS. Linda

I've seen your other cards with sculpted flowers. Could you please explain how to do this technique? Or where on this site the instructions are posted. I tried a search but was not successful.
Your cards are just beautiful and yours is the first gallery I check out!

Here are the directions for the rose: I used four layers for each rose. I stamped two large and two of the medium and cut them out. I cut one of the medium images smaller than the other, cutting it so that part of it was free from the rest. (It looks sort of like a pinwheel.)That makes it look more realistic when you shape them. I hold each layer of the rose image in my left hand and, with my right thumb and forefinger, I bend and push the edges up against my left thumb, then I assemble the four layers of the rose (use any adhesive you like), and glue some small beads in the center using CE. It's really quite a quick process...the rose is done in minutes. If you have any questions, PM me. Have fun!
The leaves are Lovely Leaves and were done by inking the stamp first with Versa Mark then with green and embossing with clear EP.
