Renaissance Rose

I joined a new online community for Angel Stampers called Paper Wings and found another challenge. Here is the inspiration piece.....

 And here is my card:

I painted the rose with the Pearl-ex watercolor palette. I have to admit I have always had a weakess for metallics. I'm not a pastel girl at all. These rich colors and metallic accents are more my thing. Metallics don't always photograph well, but take my word for it, this looks opulent in real life.
