Hello and thanks for coming by. I have this pretty floral card to share today.
(Click images to enlarge.)
I colored the roses with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. I then die cut the vase and embossed it in the die. While still sitting in the die, I decided to sponge white pigment ink over the vase to bring out the details. It really is a pretty die!
The top panel was debossed with an embossing folder. I used plaid paper in the bottom portion because I have decided to hang onto this card to give it to DH for his birthday. I know that he likes flowers just as much as anyone, but the plaid does add a bit of a masculine touch.
I did decorate the inside of the card with a simple greeting and the rose stamped in light blue ink. I need to get in a better habit of doing the insides of cards because I do really like the look!

What a fabulous card!! I love the roses and how you colored them, but the vase looks fantastic!! You chose such a pretty plaid dsp to go along with the flowers too - this is so pretty!!
Sweet bouquet Heidi, that white piece almost looks like the dropped edge of a table cloth.
Oh, how fun! I did not notice that before, but it does look a lot like a tablecloth! Thanks for saying so!
I like how you did the inside of the card and I too need to get in a better habit of decorating the inside. I'm always happy when I do. This is a great card and I really like those roses. THey make me think of my grandmother who never met a rose stamp she didn't like. She would have loved this one.
Beautifully colored, I love the embossed vase and great design with the plaid background and the white embossed piece!
Hullo Heidi, what a wonderful card, gorgeous colouring on those roses and beautiful colours all over, well done.

That is a stunning bouquet of roses and the vase in that beautiful blue really makes them pop.
Love the contrast of the embossed panel and the plaid pattern paper, awesome work.
