Happy Tuesday, peeps! I haven't played with the Stippled Rose bundle for a long time, and when I saw that The Flower Challenge's theme was "thanks" this month, I jumped right in! Here we go:
I began by stamping the roses in Copper Clay on Basic Beige cardstock, then used the die to get them out, along with some of those detailed leaves in Mossy Meadow. Instead of watercoloring the roses as I would normally do, I used a small Tim Holtz blender to blend in Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze inks on the flowers and Mossy Meadow on the leaves. It's definitely a learning curve, and I did get some green ink where I might not have wanted, but I went back in with a blender pen to add some detail to the smaller areas!
I used a vintage woodgrain paper from Countryside Woods and distressed the edges a bit, then added the flowers. I stamped the sentiment directly on the paper as well. My final embellishments were some Natural Sequins and a bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread in green! I think you could color these roses in any shade and they'd be beautiful! Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
Rid yourselves, then, of all evil; no more lying or hypocrisy or jealousy or insulting language. Be like newborn babies, always thirsty for the pure spiritual milk, so that by drinking it you may grow up and be saved. As the scripture says, "You have found out for yourselves how kind the Lord is."

Oh, yes, any color would do - but since orange roses are my current favorite, I'm in love with your choice today! The stippled lines of this set are perfect for your blended color, LeAnne! and I LOve the extra die-cut leaves of green!
Thanks so very much for playing cards with The Flower Challenge this month! Someone would probably send YOU a thank you for this lovely thank you!

Love the orange and green on the wood background. I haven't used this bundle in forever either. Have a blessed day!
Well done, LeAnne this is pretty! Love those orange roses and the deep green leaves you've added behind them!
Paper perfection! Love this!
Love these orange roses and the vintage feel of this card!
I really like the vintage feel of this card - the distressed edges, etc. The orange roses are pretty. Thanks for playing over at the Flower Challenge.
This card is such a wow LeAnne! I love the softness of it and the effect you've achieved by blending the ink onto the floral image. Love the colours too - the pretty orange roses with their darker green foliage against the silvery woodgrain background. Thank you for sharing at The Flower Challenge! Vicky x
