I really went outside the box on this one. This is not one of my usual type cards......BUT....it is a new year so I might as well try something different every once in awhile don't you think. Don't want to get stuck in a rut! lol.................on to the card...........
I stamped the print pattern on black cs with versa mark, silver ep it. Cut it out.
On white cs I finally inked this roses in winter set. The larger part of the rose was a little light for me so I doodled around it. Added the sentiment and stem w/leaves. Cut it out with my circle coluzzle and sponged and doodled the edges. Versa marked it and put ulta thick embossing enamel on it. Did this twice.
Cut out some sparkly misc. dp and put it on a card that I sponged the edges with old olive then doodled them. Couldn't not whimsy it up a little! lol
Took my black silver eb panel and put ribbon on two sides then put it on the card. Popped up the main image and took a picture. Well, what do you think?.......TFL :0)
