American Beauty...

The "Dried Flowers" image was provided for my use by the Stamping Boutique

613 Ave C's latest challenge is ATG / Optional twist is to use a Rose. The sponsors this go around include Melonheadz, Eureka Stamps and The Stamping Boutique who will be providing the prizes.  The amazing 613 Team has provided some ideas for you to spark your mojo - and all the details you need to enter the challenge can be found at the link above for 613.  Come on- join the fun!

I had originally planned in my head to create the main rose and then overlay the dried rose image over it, but I could not make that work to my satisfaction.  I ended up making a card with the larger rose and creating a bookmark gift using the "Dried Flowers" image as a set for a birthday.
