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.

I cannot even say how amazing your rose garden is. Outstanding. I just sit and stare at it. One quick question, and sorry if it's dumb, I'm a new stamper and scrapper, what is a CL die? What does the CL stand for? I got the SU punch and the MS punch figured out. And again, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
