Summer Roses- The Flower Challenge

Welcome
A new month means a new theme at
The Flower Challenge

This month our theme is:



Our Guest Designer this month is Mac Mable from thesweetestofpeas. Do check out her blog if you have a minute as she makes such fabulous cards.


I chose Summer for the theme of my card so here is what I did to create my card.
I began by making the background using my Gel Plate.  I wanted a white border on my card so I positioned my Rectangle Acrylic Mask onto my heavy white cardstock first, then I brayered some Salty Ocean DOX ink onto the plate, splattered with some diluted Blueprint Sketch DOX ink and pulled my print.
Leaving the mask in place, I stamped the roses along the top then coloured them using my Zig Waterbrush markers.  I dried that and then stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
I mounted the panel onto a pale mauve piece of cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.



Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
I hope you will come and play along with us.
