i designed this card for Cuddly Buddly using a set from the new release of spring clear stamps that has something for everyone, from cute to floral.
i initially stamped the Rose Collage in green chalk ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder four times to layer it, water coloured with twinkling H2Os and used the same twinks to create my background and die the ribbon. we used to have hybrid tea roses this colour before i had to give up gardening due to my RA, so i love colouring florals as much as i love colouring cute images.
i’d like to submit this to these challenges:

Such pretty colours and 3D effect. Your background and ribbon are perfect. Very creative!
This is so pretty! Great dimension and colors. Love the bow! Thanks for joining the Craft-Dee BowZ January, “Anything goes and include a handmade bow” Challenge.
Your H2O coloring is always so fantastic. I happen to love floral images too, and this one is just beautiful, and so realistic looking. That collaged background was the perfect backdrop for this lovely image. Wonderful card. TFS
GORGEOUS rose card Linda. Love the dimension to it xxx
