Who says Christmas Rose is just for Christmas? This beautiful image is from Stampendous and I wanted to use it in a non-holiday manner, so I heat-embossed it in white then proceeded to color it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and used a water brush. When I finished coloring, I made a mask to cover the image, then stamped over it with Carta Bella Christmas Plaid background stamp twice with Distress inks (Pumice Stone and Fossilized Amber). After removing the mask, I used my water brush around the image to create that watery look.
The final step was to mount the panel onto a white base card and add a little sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s Bouquet of Thanks set! I’m pretty satisfied with this non-holiday card!
