I received this rose die cut as a RAK in one of my exchange cards a while back!! It was just as you see it when I received it so I am guessing it was coloured with Copic markers - beautiful!! I found some coordinating cardstock and stamped it with a script background (SU) in turquoise ink. I cut a rectangle of white cardstock that was just big enough for the rose, embossed it with the Swiss Dot embossing folder and layered it onto a brown cardstock rectangle. I used a fine tip glue applicator (fabric paint bottle filled with white glue) to adhere the rose and leaf into place and then added a laser printed vellum greeting in brown. I folded over the ends of the greeting and adhered them to the back of this element before gluing the element to my stamped card front. Love the look of it!!
