Pink roses.

Hi there. Hope you are all well on this Sunday morning. I must confess I have not been very proactive on the card front just resently, but decided I must challenge myself to make at least one card a week and share it with you. let's hoping!!
This is a card I made from the free gift on the simple cards & papercraft magazine.
I started my project by stamping my first rose image off the card ( 12cm square )  with versa mark. I then embossed this with white embossing powder and stamped a further two roses, one at either side with the masking technique. I embossed in the same way as the first rose, then painted the roses with distress inks watered down ( victorian velvet, peeled paint ) then added a touch of mica paint to shade the roses in too.
I stamped the sentiment from the free gift set in black ink and added a few silver sequins to balance the card up. I Matted it onto black cardstock 12.5cm square ( the black perfectly frames the image) then patterned pink paper ( 14cm square ) to bring out the pink in the rose petals and then mount onto a card base to finish.
This is the finished card below...
Thanks for visiting my blog  please call in again and happy Crafting!!
Love sharon xx:-)
