Purple roses...
January 19, 2015
I managed to get quite a few things accomplished in the craft cave this weekend. Too bad it was mostly reorganizing and not enough card making!! I was on a cleaning jag and my niece is about to inherit a bunch of paper. She will be happy about that!
I don’t do a lot of stamping with flowers as a general rule. But that may have changed – I purchased the Altenew Vintage Roses stamp set and it is as easy as 1 2 3 when stamping the roses. As easy as the SU! lotus blossom stamp set. I think I finally got the hang of the two and three step stamping!
I used wisteria wonder to make these roses. I stamped off the first layer one time to create the lightest color. Then it was full strength ink for the second and third layers. After I finished up with the roses and leaves, I wasn’t sure where the sentiment should be placed. I remembered these really cool banner dies from SSS that would be a great way to showcase the sentiment. I stuck with a pretty simple color scheme – all white so that the flowers and sentiment could shine.
All in all, a really lovely card for a lovely occasion! I am playing along today with The Friday Mashup (florals) and The Card Concept (anniversaries) - clean and simple card. (sorry for the photos – winter in Montana makes good lighting near impossible at the best of times!)
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to stop in tomorrow!
Supplies: CS: PTI white. Inks: SU! wisteria wonder and wild wasabi. Memento black. Stamps: Altenew vintage roses. Die: Simon Says Stamp sketchy banners.

Beautifully stamped roses, love them in Wisteria!
