I know I just did a card with this same IO Beauty Rose stamp ( F8842) this month, but I love this stamp and could happily use it everyday. Besides, this card is totally different from the other. I used H2O's on black CS the last time and used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol this time. I haven't tried using the Prismacolors in a while, I'm not very good with them, but I tried watercolour pencils and the colour was just too rich for the MME papers I used. I fussy cut the roses and covered them with Diamond Glaze. The little banner pieces were cut from the cover sheet to this collection, and I took the base off my corner rounder to make a scalloped edge to peek out on the right side and bottom.
I don't know if this is quite what they have in mind, but for me, I like to plant myself on the deck on beautiful Summer evenings and drink my tea next to my lovely miniature roses, and listen to the birds. Can't wait for those days, am getting tired of cold and damp!
Finally, I'm also entering this here : http://www.lovesrubberstampschallenges.com/2013/06/challenge-55-anything-goes.htm

It's gorgeous!!!! Your coloring with the Prismacolor pencils is just sensational! I wish I could color so well with them. Love the design and those little banners on here! Truly a beautiful card.

How totally creative and so pretty!! When I saw the sentiment I had to do a double take and check to see if I didn't know a new stamp. :-) Very clever and your flowers are lovely too!! I do the same thing, but watch the squirrels. Thank you for playing, Shona, and good luck in the drawing too!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you teamed up and layered the papers, it's a beautiful card and the rose stamp is lovely. You're welcome to use the Flower Soft idea, the wheelbarrow stamp is perfect for this technique!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! How cool is that to find the exact quote of the challenge on Designer paper. Beautiful layers, & colouring of the flowers. It's great to use a stamp more than once isn't it? :) Cheers, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteFeel free to use the stamp everyday- both cards have been gorgeous! Really like how you colored the roses and I will need to look up diamond glaze!
