Hmm, I have very few rose stamps in my collection - so any time Teapot Tuesday calls for roses, out comes Roses in WInter. A French twist -that's much easier - I just LOVE France and we'd move there if we could!
A2 card, one layer only plus embellishments.
First I stamped HA OlD French Script with Versafine Black.
Then I sponged with Antique Linen, Old Paper and Vintage Photo.
Then I stamped Linen, inked up with Weathered Wood.
Roses in Winter - Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick.
Some little bees to help pollinate the roses (and vines) and ensure a good supply of roses (and wine) for Mlle Maurcier.
A Paris postmark from French Foliage.
And to finish it off - stitching round the edges, a little flower made from a scrap of lace and some ribbon "foliage".

Sabrina, what a lovely card - those roses just pop off the page. You have created a stunning background for that lace flower, and your stitching is the perfect finishing touch.

This is amazing! And you even heated up the ribbon to distress it! What lovely details and elements you've used. You've obviously put a lot of love into this card. I love the vintage style and romantic flair!
