Vintage Roses






I am so in love with this vintage paper and don't know the name of it. I think I picked it up at a scrapbook store. I wanted to use it with my die-cut frame. I used a Flourishes stamp of leaves and branches (Home Tweet Home) and cut it down considerably. Several of the leaves are covered with Stickles. The flowers are punched and I put glossy accents and dazzling diamonds on them to dry overnight. I am using a sketch (shown above) from the MMSC. I lowered my image and frame and placed to the left because I couldn't stand to cover those beautiful roses.

Benzi this is exquisite! I love how you positioned the frame so that you can still see the beautiful paper. That ribbon looks spectacular on this spectacular card as well. Just gorgeous! Great job with the sketch this week. Congratulations on being our "Remarkables" winner last week. Thank you so much for playing along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
