What better image to use for Valentines Day than a rose - we all love them don't we, whether on paper or IRL - roses are divine!!
The Cottage Rose cling art stamp by Layers of Color is a pleasure to colour and create with! I stamped it onto white card stock and coloured it with SU Chalks. I have tried to keep the shades more muted for a softer look.
I then popped it onto a frame that I have recycled using a negative of the Spellbinders Labels Four and Cuttlebug Vintage Corners. It was quite by accident that it formed this frame - but I was not going to pass it up! LOL! All Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur. Pearls have been added to complete the frame - simple elegance was the way to go with this card!
