Double D - Rose Garden

Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

Diane is hosting today and as you can see by my blog title ... the theme is

ROSE GARDEN

  Here is the fabulous mood board she has created to help inspire you . . .

 I was amazed when I was looking through my 'goods' to see

I really don't have much in the line of actual ROSES ... (interesting)

BUT I did discover I had an OLD Stampin' Up set

called Fifth Avenue Floral which I felt would work just fine!

I actually stamped and fussy cut THREE panels.

Colored only the one using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

and then proceeded in stacking the three panels together

and tucking my Cheery Lynn Designs rose leaves

in between the panels.  I die cut the leaves from green card stock

then sponged a bit of red along the edges (that's what the leaves

on my new rose bushes look like so mimicked them).

Other dies used are:

Tutti Designs HAPPY and BIRTHDAY

 

Jeanine's Art Butterflies & Flowers - Butterfly Corner

I fussy cut the butterfly from this die because

I liked the 'lacy' look of it ... lol.

 Check out this beautiful stamp Diane has up for grabs to one lucky random draw winner.

 

 So, come play along using our theme and YOU might be our random winner!!
