Summer Bloom

I used Altenew rose stamps to make the background of this card.  

For the lighter roses I used 'Spun Sugar' Distress ink, 'Angel Pink' by Memento and 'Ash Rose' by Versacraft.  For the darker roses I used Angel Pink, Ash Rose and Memento's 'Rose Bud'.  The leaves were stamped with 'New Sprout' and 'Bamboo Leaves' both from Memento.

I used Sheena Douglass' 'Wild Rose' die and stamp set to create the flowers on the edge of the circle, added a banner with a stamped sentiment across the middle of the circle and added a few small butterflies to finish off the card.

Pretty In Pink

I used Memento 'Rose Bud' ink pad to colour the background of this card, adding a butterfly stamp over the top to give it a bit more interest.  I used Sue Wilson's ' Bed of Roses' embosing folder to create the centre panel.  I added some ink onto the embossing folder before running it through my Grand Calibur to give the embossing a printed look.

I used Sue Wilson's ' Camellia' dies to make the flowers. The sentiment is another Sue Wilson for which I cut twice to give a drop shadow and added into the centre of my circle topper.
