Thank-You Roses

Morning.
Today I am playing with some lovely stamps from Penny Black, my Zigs and of course some drywall tape.
I really like the whimsical look of these roses from the PB Flower Medley set.  They are very fun to watercolour and there are a few different flower varieties in that set with the same qualities.

So onto my card.
I began by stamping the roses around the edges of my watercolour paper using my Misti and black Memento ink.  I added some colour at the flower centers with my Zigs, then using a wet paintbrush I pulled the color into the flowers.  While that dried, I die cut an oval using a die from Spellbinders and stamped the sentiment from the  Happy Wishes sentiment set onto it.
Keeping with my pink theme, I pulled out some Spun Sugar Distress ink and using some drywall tape, stenciled onto my card front.
I continued the stenciling onto my oval die-cut then pierced the edges for interest.
The last thing I did was add some Nuvo clear drops.


Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look!

Love it - clever to use the stencilling on the oval and the background

This is so beautiful Karen. Love these whimsical roses. Such bright vibrant colours that looks amazing on the soft pink background. The drywall tape is just perfect for adding a little bit of "extra" here and there. And I love your design with the popped oval sentiment. I am now heading off to add this stamp set to my wish list. :) xx

I must buy some of this dry wall tape as I love the look of it as a background Karen, and the roses are so pretty. The bright pink and green tones go beautifully.

I am definitely going to have to get some drywall tape - such an great backdrop to those sweet flowers!

Such a bright clean card! I used to have drywall tape in colors called Magic Mesh, probably 10x as expensive since it was for crafters. I gave it up as it attracted too much cat hair (hairy cards, anyone?!)
