Hi, how are you doing?
I am playing catch up here on the blog this week. Don't know how it's gotten to be Thursday already! I missed my Wednesday What I Love post, so how about if I combine it with Take Out Thursday?
However I decide to call it, I have a special card to share with you today.
I made this background a few months ago, and it's been sitting on my craft table. I loved these roses and the technique of wet on wet stamping with the Vintage Roses set from Altenew. I stamped in layers and did some spattering with inks and gold watercolor.
The die cut sentiments (from Stampin' Up!) are mounted on a vellum strip. I embossed the You in gold at the bottom for an ombre look.
I embellished further with a bow and clear drops.
Have you noticed that my style changes often on these posts? I've been looking at some posts from my old blog and it reminded me how often I made cards with a Shabby Chic style. I love clean and simple. I love cute. I love layers, and I love this feminine look.
This was such a fun card to make and I hope my dear friend will like receiving it for her birthday.
Thanks so much for your visit today!
Be yourself
Delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Gorgeous roses, colors, dies, design -- everything! Fantastic how you did the embossing on the "you". Love that, and thanks for the close up. Wow! I admire all styles of stamping, but this... this... takes my breath away!
Ahhh, that background that was lying on your stamping desk, put to use in this gorgeous card! LOVE IT!!! I have an old Altenew Roses set, but it most likely isn't the same one. I will have to check and try the wet-on-wet technique!! :-)
