To keep the bg simple, in place of panels #1-#4 being separate, I embossed and scored the white CS to represent them. Added some sponged color. The rose(in place of the circle) was stamped on watercolor paper, colored, then cut out out and popped up. The two "unnumbered doodads" on the upper right of the circular panel were eliminated...and instead, two rose leaves were added lower.

Oh, Sallie, this is amazingly gorgeous! Your watercoloring is so beautifully done and gives this flower a whole new "makeover" with the depth you've given it. I need to keep examining this one as another lesson! Love your design and how you've worked this for the sketch! LOVE it so much! WOW! Hugs, sweet friend!

Love your delicate embossed lacy border up the side of the card to go along with this absolutely gorgeous rose!
