Single rose ...

A step away from the usual today ... still CAS but soft and gentle pastels - not my usual choice of colours!

Two cards using the same stamp set, colour palette and layout. First up is soft pink ...

The rose really is a pastel pink/lilac!
This shows the colour slightly better!!
The rose was stamped and heat embossed with white before I water coloured using inks.  I then fussy cut it before adhering onto the card with foam adhesive on top of some controlled splatters!  The sentiment and splatters were embossed with silver embossing powder.

The second card:



This card was created in the same way as the above pink one except this time I fussy cut the leaves from around the rose - these were adhered flat to the card base and then the flower was adhered using foam pads to add dimension.  At least the lilac shows up slightly better!!

I used:
Distress Inks - Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac
Stampin Up - Pistachio Pudding Ink
Wink of Stella
STAMPlorations - About a Rose Stamp set
UNIKO - All Occasion Sentiments

I'm entering the following challenges:

"Less is More" # 275 Colour Challenge - Use Pastel Shades
STAMPlorations Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge
Addicted to Stamps #192 Make Your Mark


Enjoy!
