This week's challenge is based on the following sketch:-
& here is my card:-
The stamp I pulled out of my stash is a real oldie (from Personal Stamp Exchange/PSX), one of my early purchases "back in the day" as my 19YO son would say. Back in the day, when he was at kindergarten!
I have stamped this beautiful rose on watercolour paper with archival ink & then watercoloured it with four shades of pink stamp pad inks & Old Olive for the leaves & stems. I have glazed the greenery to make it look glossy & added a hint of clear glitter to the edges of some of the rose petals. Here is a close up:-
Instead of using a horizontal strip of DSP on this card I tried something different with the ribbon by tying the knot & then taking both bands of the ribbon back under the rose panel. This made the knot & tails sit out nicely on the left. The matted rose panel has been popped up on dimensionals.
Make sure you visit all the other DT members & leave them some comment love! :)

There was lots of lots of eye candy last week, both Christmas themed & not. I needed a card this morning, so I made one up with those challenge colours. The crumb cake is there as sponging on the distressed edges of the ledger paper. Makes it look nice & grubby! :)
