roses

 This beautiful rose stamp is crackling rose, a big stamp that is a delight to colour in.
I used some leftover card from a workshop that had been coloured using shaving foam and brusho powders for my background, and stamped the image in black memento ink.
Image was coloured using my favourite watercolour pencils and a waterbrush. The matt is a dark green card.
The base card 7"x7" was stamped with the studded lattice stamp using a green adirondack ink, which was also sponged round the edges.

My second card using the slightly smaller floribunda net stamp is on a 5"x7" white card blank.
The image was stamped in versamark ink onto gereenc ard and white embossed. I painted the leaves and roses with diluted white reinker, and once that was dry coloured them with marker pens.
Mats of pink and green card finished this off.
