Art Nouveau Roses

It's two days until schools close for the July holidays. Three weeks of me time. Can't wait. I need the break desperately and so do the children. Roll on Friday!

I'm playing in the latest sketch challenge at

Case this sketch

This is the challenge

I made two of the same layout. On the rear card I adhered the panels flat against each 

other but on the front one added some dimension by using foam strips. I wanted to see which I preferred and I have to say, I have no idea! Like them both.

I also used different thread. Think I prefer the variegated one, which is the rear one.

The banner is hand cut.

I really like this layout. Will defiantely be using it again, maybe with leaves next time?

In the past I have used these flowers on some small 6.5cm x 7cm cards.
