ROSES 3 WAYS

We want you to incorporate Roses THREE ways on your creation. 

For this challenge I was inspired by the current Escape2Create logo
and Masterchef.. where they use a certain ingredient three different ways in a dish.
So, for this challenge you must use roses on your creation.. but in three different ways! 

eg.: stamp of a rose, a stencil of a rose and a photo of a rose
or you may choose to use
a rose flair, washi tape with a rose pattern and a rose flower embellishment.
using any medium you like and any combination you like or any embellishment you like.. but there must be roses used Three DIFFERENT WAYS on your creation .

**Please let us know the three different ways you used roses when you upload your entry 

(thank you again to Amanda for another inspiring  graphic!)

Rose Flair, paper flowers, diecut flowers, stencil.

stencilled roses, 2 ways, wood veneer rose, paper rose & a resin rose


I was totally inspired by the image of the skull with roses because I LOVE skulls. I created my own using a skull stencil and added fussy cut patterned paper roses to it. I also used a rose stencil with a fine black journalling pen to add stencilled roses to my background. For my third rose element I used a red washi tape with a tiny rose print
