Seems like ages since I was last out here on my blog, I have had a much easier recovery post repeat surgery in mid August, so hopefully I get good news when I got back to the specialist this week... One of our family history friends is celebrating her birthday today and we gave her this card along with a new azalea plant which we happily found out will replace one that recently died in her garden.
I messed around with some scraps of card deciding on just which colour to make the rose, once I had settled on Raspberry versa color, I inked the stamp up carefully cleaning off the ink from the leaves and stem. Stamping first the flower portion before cleaning and reinking the leaves and stem in Olive versa color and stamping. I used MFT pierced fish tail flag die to cut the rose out then dug around in my large scrap file for the gold mirri card, found some deep pink cardstock and a wide striped paper from my stash.
I managed to smudge the ink on the rose, thankfully it blends in though. Apologies for the photo quality this one is the best of a bad bunch...
Here is my card:-
