Pink Roses

Hi!  I'm here with another fun sketch from the team at Freshly Made Sketches and this week my Aussie mate, Narelle, is our hostess.

This card fought me the whole way and I ended up with some creased leaves but by then, I was over it and just left them, so the creases you see in a few leaves in the close-up aren't meant to be there 😉

I black-embossed the flowers onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Zig markers.  From there, the plan was to die-cut them with a circle die, doing some out-of-the-box die-cutting.  That worked fine but then I stupidly decided to add some gray around the outside.  What a mess!  So to fix it, I splattered on some Black Soot ink.  Double mess!  To fix the problem I fussy cut the flowers.

I took a white card panel and die-cut it with a dotted half circle die.  I adhered two angle-cut strips - the top one having been white-embossed.  After I added the flowers with foam tape and adhered the panel to a top-folding card base, I added some Nuvo Shimmer Drops and called it done!

Thanks so much for visiting.  As always, the rest of the design team have some gorgeous cards to inspire you.
