Thinking of You

Have you been to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Flower Show?  If you haven't, you must do - there are lots of wonderful floral creations!  After you have seen the creations, you might want to enter the WMS Flower Show competition ;)

I love flowers, if I were to count the stamp sets I own, probably flowers would top the list.  At the WMS Flower Show, I was really inspired by Meredith MacRitchie's creation.

She had so many wonderful things going on in this card. I love the colours of the flowers on her card with the rock and roll technique, and the white embossing that she did.  I think her card looked fantastic.

So, here's my take:

I used my favourite WMS floral set "Roses in Bloom" and coloured the roses with Copic Markers (R30, RV21, RV13, RV14, RV17, RV19, RV69).

Then I stamped the same flower using Versamark inkpad and white embossed the flowers.  To give some definition, I sponged some Versamagic SeaBreeze around the flowers.

On the card, I added a sentiment from "Compact Sentiments" and the frame from "Very Vintage Labels 25".  I used the rock and roll technique on the Vintage label with Memento Teal Zeal and Tuxedo Black.  Seeing this will be a Birthday and Mother's Day card for mum, I added a little sewing machine charm to the ribbon & button corner.  My mum loves roses and she loves sewing, although she doesn't sew that much these days as her eyesight is failing.  I know she is going to enjoy the card.

Here's the finished card:

Thank you Meredith for inspiring me to create this card - Hugs to you!! I had so much fun!
