Looking Rosy


Morning.
Although they are calling for snow flurries today where I live and we are still wearing our winter coats, I just can't stop thinking about Spring and seeing the flowers and being out in the garden in the sunshine.
 So, here's my card and what I did to create it.

I began by masking the edges then inked up this 'new to me' stamp from Impression Obsession with Versamark ink and stamped.  I then heat embossed with white powder and painted the flowers with diluted Brushos and a paint brush.  It is so easy to get the variations of colour using the Brushos and they apply so easily.  
I fussy cut one of the roses out so I could apply it to my card front with pop dots.  
The sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

 I am adding my card to these challenges:

Addicted to CAS- DELICATE




 Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps- Impression Obsession, STAMPlorations/ Versamark ink/ Memento bl ink/ pop dots/ white eb powder/ heat tool/ Brushos/ paint brush

This came out so beautifully! The way you masked, colored, and cut out one rose to pop up! Absolutely love it! I have that background stamp in my NBUS box - thanks for reminding me!

Karen love your red card, it is a beauty. I thought of those in the eastern part of the countries (US, Canada) when I went to the nursery here in So CA. Everything is in bloom and it is certainly spring - but we are still in a drought. Stay warm.

So gorgeous, Karen. This reminds me of those folded ribbons roses. I'm sure it takes a knack to do coloring like this with brushoes.

WOW, Karen, this is gorgeous, and the red is amazing with the white embossing! And the added rose with leaves is perfection with the sentiment! Stunning card, sweet friend! Love it! xoxo
