Ah..what a QFTD! Sue (Suen), whose gorgeous gallery is full of inspiration and tons of links too! I loved the roses Sue made on this card and followed her links to the tutorial. Ai yi yi! It is too easy! (thanks to Simply Rae for making this video). Well...here's the story, I started out before work, intending to upload before I left, but as you can see, my lil patch of roses kinda exploded, and I could not stop! So Sue, I really did start out with your wonderful design, and I thank you for sharing your work. Hope your reign as Queen is sweet, your surely deserve this honor! (((hugs)))
Keeping Sue's design, I added the Kokirose wandering stitch, and a few leaves and pearls. As I was watching the tutorial, I changed up a few things- like using a SU scallop punch, and a quilling tool to make a more full bloom, and I sponged the edges prior to quilling.
Thanks for looking!
Edit: I had a few questions regarding the blooms, and added a link HERE.

Like your new avatar, Pat....looks like you might be in your well-stocked craft room! : )
Your card is over the top GORGEOUS. Reminds me of those big ole wedding bouquets brides carried in the 40's. Your roses are perfection....and why use several, when several dozen is better??!! Like has been said "More is more." Everything surrounding them is equally astounding.
