Monochrome rambling roses

 Yes, I know - yet another card made with this beautiful stamp. I just can't resist it! 

I've already made a card using the same layout and fancied using the layout again in a different way.  I stamped the image onto watercolour cardstock using Altenew Crisp Dye ink in Cosmic Berry,  then stencilled the diamonds over the bottom half of the card. I also daubed the inkpad over a scrap of the same card, sprayed it with water and set it aside to dry. 

Next I used a fine water brush to draw out the colour from the stamping to colour the flower petals. While everything was drying I stamped the sentiment,  from a very old Hot Off The Press set, and trimmed it into a band to fit across the card. 

I inked all the edges and assembled the card, then used the inked scrap and a plain one to die cut the butterfly, attached it and finished it with tiny mauve pearls. 

I am sharing this with The Butterfly Challenge using the options Damson, Diamonds and of course a butterfly.
