This rose stamp is a very, very old stamp I bought from a company called Raindrops on Roses, probably about 25 years ago. I stamped it by colouring it with brush markers and then huffing on it to make sure the ink wasn't too dry.
I fussy cut it then added it to a die cut circle that had been stamped with a text stamp (flower related text, if you can read any of it, about the meanings of various flowers). It looked a bit too CAS so I added some Candi to the corners, which got me thinking. How is it I see people doing amazing things with Candi, building flowers and patterns, even cutting, folding and shaping it, when it takes me five minutes to even prise apart two that have stuck together? I'm just not built for the dainty stuff!

Your rose is beautiful, Jane! I love the candy dots in the corners! Why is it that things you want to stick don't and things that need to be separate stick together too well! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
Beautiful fussy-cut rose that looks wonderful on the script background. Lovely CAS design Jane! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
