Hello friends,
A new challenge starts today at Double D Challenges. Team Darlene is hosting this challenge with the theme “Saying Hello”. The team created beautiful cards to inspire you – a visit to the Double D Challenge blog will be worthwhile.
I was inspired by the beautiful pink colours in the photo as well as the roses. I use a whimsical rose stamp as focal point on my card and also a small border stamp to frame the image. I did the colouring with my water-colour pencils to match the colours of the background. I created the background for the roses with shimmer powder, distress inks and a stencil. The roses are fuzzy cut and then lifted of the base card with mirror tape for dimension. I finished off with a sentiment die cut, die cut stems and a few glitter stones.

- Country View Craft Challenges February 2020(ends 02/29) – Splatters, Splashes & Drips

These whimsical roses are so different for the usual ones. I am with Diane and may need these. I love how you put them on the front with the matching border and planted a little garden too.
