Golden roses

 I was flicking through a magazine the other day and saw a card made with this  vase of roses stamp and realised it is FAR too long since I used it. So I had to put that right. 



I actually used two sets here, both of which I won in the Playground a while ago. I created an inky background by blending the three shades of green ink from an Altenew quad pack (the fourth "colour" in the pack was black) then used the darkest of the greens to randomly stamp the Mackintosh style rose from the sentiment set all over the background. 

Then I stamped the vase of roses and sentiment and heat embossed them in gold on dark green card. I fussy cut the vase of roses, cutting not-too-close to the edge so as not to crack the embossing and using a craft knife  for the internal bit, then attached it to the card with Pinflair glue to raise it slightly from the background. 

I am sharing this with
