I was so excited when an order from Simon Says Stamp arrived with this Single Roses die set in it. I usually have to wait about 3 weeks most of the time for anything from the US but occasionally I might be lucky & items will arrive in 2 weeks but not often.
I loved this die as soon as I saw it & could see lots of options with scrap pieces I have laying around. I die-cut from a reject watercolour piece that I wasn't happy with and layered over a blue inked background. Finished with a Hero Arts sentiment & foam mounted on to Audrey Blue card base.
I am entering this into the following challenges -
Muse Challenge # 153 - where this weeks Muse Tracey McNeely made this lovely floral card.
I was inspired by the bright colours Tracy used & just happened to have a watercolour piece with all the colours in it.
The Card Concept # 49 - Floral Radiance
I'm going with Clean & Graphic style I think, not sure.
Thanks for visiting.
Love the vibrant colours you have used, what a fabulous eye-catching card this is! Cx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for joining us at The Card Concept!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the vibrant colors.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful card is a great example of why we shouldn't throw away reject pieces of art! Your card announces "spring is here!" in a big way. Well done!
ReplyDeleteRose, I'm cheering the 'early' arrival of your Simon Says order; I, too, often wait 3 or more weeks for parcels from the US to arrive in Canada. You've created a most charming card with the swirly roses; a lovely take on Tracey's inspiration and a fabulous way to inject 'new life' into a piece of water-coloured paper. So incredibly pretty! Wishing you a wonderful Thursday...
