I created this card for this week's Color Challenge hosted by our lovely Pam MacKay. Pam chose Stampin' Up! (SU) So Saffron, Marina Mist, and Pear Pizzazz for her color combination. These colors are a gorgeous combination (thanks Pam). Pam's "dessert option" is to create an Easter or spring card.
I have a gorgeous rose bush that is in bloom with big, beautiful roses this year. Thus, I decided to create a spring card with roses for the challenge. I stamped the Penny Black Crimson Rose stamp at various angles onto a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock. I then selected copic sketch markers that closely match the challenge colors to color the roses.
Afterward, I used the old SU Spritzer and So Saffron Marker to spritz ink over the card and added Nuvo crystal drops and sequins. Then I used a light blue copic marker around the flowers and edges. This and the spritzed So Saffron ink gives the card a pinkish color in the white space. I do not know what caused that except maybe camera problems.
Stamps: Penny Black Crimson Rose Stamp, Heartfelt Creation Uplifting Scriptures
Ink: Copic Sketch Markers, SU So Saffron Marker, Black Ink
Paper: Neenah Solar White Card Stock, SU Marina Mist and So Saffron Card Stock

Bev, your rose bush served as wonderful inspiration. This is a beautiful card. My best friend’s dad grew blue roses. You’ve colored these perfectly!!

Bev, you are so very fortunate to have roses blooming so early in the year! Because I live in the PNW, ours are about another two months away. I can hardly wait!
Your design with the roses around the edges of the card is a great way to highlight the sentiment along with your coloring of those lovely blooms in the challenge colors! Lovely card!

I am always so touched when I see a scripture included on a card. It is certainly glorified by these gorgeous roses and your coloring and artful skills. As sweet as His name is on our lips, so are these words embellished by the art of our souls.
