Elegant Rose

Welcome

I don't often use pink and green together, never mind adding maroon, 
but somehow it all worked for this card.
The patterned paper is from the Trim Crafts Botanical notes stack.


The focal point is this beautiful rose from Kiwistamping - one of my original stamps, which was coloured with water colours,


And liberally coated with Wink of Stella after being cut out with a S/B Elegant Rectangle die and sponged with Spun Sugar D.I.


I added a bow of satin ribbon,


Cheery Lynn French Pastry die cut doily,


and a banner shaped sentiment panel, with the greeting white embossed,
 over a pink adhesive ribbon.  
The final details were some clear rhinestones.

Hi Maxine. I think and pink and green are a perfect pair, and your rose panel is rally pretty. Sorry i have ,missed so many of your posts. I seem to have lost the automatic feed to you and several others, and I haven't had time to sort it out. Hopefully I'll do better now I have found you again. Thank you for continue to follow me so faithfully in my absence! Blessings. Kate x
