This is a pretty card that I made recently for my grandson to give to his teacher at the end of his time in her class, her name is Rose. The stamps used are either freebies from a magazine or so old that , they have been discontinued. I used Distress Inks Picked Raspberry,Worn Lipstick and Mowed Lawn. I also made my own shade of acrylic paint to co-ordinate with the inks. The base card is Centura Pearl, and I have embossed it in a folder through a machine. Then I blended some DI around the edges of the card. The background panel is a piece of white card onto which I have stamped a pattern of roses using Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then rubbed ink all over the panel, and polished it afterwards with a soft cloth. The embossed pattern resists the ink, showing a white pattern through the coloured ink. This is called the resist technique. I coloured another piece of white card with acrylic paint, then die cut it. I edged the shaped panel with ink, then cut the background panel slightly smaller than the coloured panel. I matted and layered them onto the base card. On another piece of white card I stamped a couple of rose images in Sepia Versafine ink, and heat embossed them with clear powder. I water coloured the images using the DI's then fussy cut them. I also die cut some foliage sprigs and painted them in the same way. I stamped a butterfly, painted it then cut it out too. I then stamped and heat embossed a sentiment onto white card, then die cut it and added ink around the edges. I attached it to the card with dimensional glue, then added the flowers and foliage behind it. I coloured a piece of white card with diluted ink then die cut the name from it. I inked around the edges of each letter to add shading and attached them to the card with dimensional glue. I like the simplicity of this design, it makes a nice change from some of my more complex artwork. I think this design will work for a variety of occasions, and it can be personalised to suit.
