Celebrate Roses

Good morning! Yesterday I needed a card for my sister-in-law's bridal shower - since as usual, I was so great at planning ahead! It was a good opportunity though to pull out some of my favorite layered rose dies and play along with a challenge as well!


The current Altenew challenge was perfect - since two of her favorite colors are blue and yellow:


After stamping all the layers out on the white layer, I stamped my sentiment in the same two shades of yellow as the little flowers - inking it up fully in the light yellow, then rocking the bottom of the image in the darker yellow - perfect DIY ombre ink! Wish it showed up better in the photo - but the sentiment says "Celebrate" - I tucked a little scrap of doily and some black thread underneath it, mounted it with foam adhesive, then mounted the entire panel on foam over a soft gray card base. 


Here are links to the supplies I used on this card - including the ink colors I layered together for the flowers. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

    1. PS - I have to ask - are the roses only two layers of stamping?

    2. Thank you Tracy!!! I love them - and they are so easy! These are actually 3 layers - the lightest is a little hard to see in the photos. Some of the roses in this set have the option of four layers even! Pretty amazing how realistic they can end up looking!
