Hello, I made this for 2 challenges. This weeks Speedy's Friends Challenge#18, Make a Friendship card, and this weeks Teapot Tuesady challenge MMTPT109. The destination Station this week is to a Woman named Eula who will be celebrating her 108th birthday, now that's something to celebrate!
Since Eula likes roses, I used the Roses for You set from Mark's Finest Papers. I stamped the 2 large roses, one 2 times, and the other 3 times with versammark onto watercolour paper. Then I embossed with black EP and coloured them in with SU markers.
One of my favorite new colouring tools is the Niji pearlescent watercolours. They are so easy to use, just wet a brush, pick up some paint and apply, and they don't cost a fortune! The picture below shows the sparkle on the roses.
The card base is black, with a layer of daffodil delight and a layer of very vanilla embossed with the Victoria EF. I cut out the roses and leaves and arranged them, layering the rose in the bottom corner.
The sentiment is also from the Roses for You set. I used the Nestie Tag Shape #3 to cut it out. I really wanted a sheer bow, but I couldn't get anything to look nice without covering the roses, so I went with the gold cord!
