Create a beautiful dimensional rose card featuring delicate pink and coral tones on elegant black cardstock. This project combines layered stencilling with coloured pencil techniques to build depth and dimension. You'll use multiple stencil layers with ink blending, then add hand-colouring with pencils to create a stunning floral focal point perfect for special occasions.
Select stencil number one and position it on your white card blank. Line up the hearts carefully at the edge of the card.

Position stencil number three over your card and apply pink ink using the blending brush, working in circular motions to build up the rose shape. Continue blending the colour to create depth and dimension in the rose design.

Die-cut the rose outline from grey cardstock using your die-cutting machine. This will create a clean outline to layer over your stamped and coloured rose image.

Use your Faber-Castell coloured pencils to add shading to the stencilled rose. Work with darker tones at the edges of the petals and lighter shades towards the centre to create depth and dimension.
▶ watch this step (48:15)
Add darker tones to specific petal areas using a darker pink pencil, varying your pressure to create depth and dimension. Focus on the inner curves and shadowed areas of the petals to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the rose.

Layer your die-cut rose on top of the stencilled and coloured background using foam pads or glue to complete your card.
