Welcome
I made this card for a friend who has been in hospital for quite some time - far longer than she would like, I am sure, and I know she would be missing her roses, of which she has many!
I started by stamping the image, from Rose Thinking of You set by Stamp Simply, three times, with London Fog ink and colouring it with Polychromo pencils before die cutting it
The three rose stems were laid over each other to form a curve, and added to some silver patterned paper, leaving some of the leaves over the edge.
The blank edge of the yellow layer was embossed with an edge EF
(make unknown, possibly a magazine freebie)
The sentiment was not the one from the set, but one I have owned for a long time.
I stamped it on a slightly darker yellow card snippet in Cottage Ivy ink.
I had first put some Versamark ink on the stamp, then the die ink so it was slightly sticky, then I sprinkled over some Kiwi Perfect Pearls to give a little shimmer to the words.
I would normally have heat embossed the sentiment, but we had a day long power cut that day, so I had to 'think laterally'.
After trimming the panel and rounding the corners, the panel was mounted on foam dots over the background
Some washi tape finished the inside - this was in rose gold, but it shows tan...

What a thoughtful and very beautiful 'rose' card for your friend Maxine x. I am sure it will cheer her up x.
Beautiful card Maxine, she will love those roses, and yellow is sure to cheer her up 🥰 very thoughtful.
Hi Maxine, what a lovely card for a friend who needs some encouragement. And if she loves her roses, she is going to just love this beautiful card. I was happy to hear your news about your DD. At some point, I expect I shall do the same. She & her DH want me to be there so they can look after me. I can't move just yet, as I have other family obligations here to hand. As long as I am able to do what I can. I was so pleased to have a comment from you, and when I had a moment, I surfed out to 'chat' and enjoy this wonderful card. So glad that you are doing well. Hugs & Prayers. Mary H.

What a lovely thought for your friend to send her some roses in this way. And what a beautiful card to do it with. I love how you have put the roses in a gentle curve like that.
