Just for you

Today's card is made using one of my favorite stamp sets, A Rose is a Rose. Adding stitching around the card just gave it a more finished look. I did the stamp off technique for the rose. I am still concidering adding some hearts in the corner and using it for a valentine card. Wouldn't that be cute.

Brayered Rose

I used the brayer on the rose today. Last time I watercolored them but I wanted a softer look today. I am very happy with the outcome. I am sure like my brayer now that I am using it more often. The paper is shimmery white and has a georgous shimmer to it but it doesn't show in the photo like it should. I cut the roses out and adheared them with dimentionals.
