Keeping it Simple


I used a GinaK Stately Flowers #6 rose image for my card today. I colored it with Copics, and die-cut the panel with Lil Inkers stitched rectangles, matting with a narrow black mat. The dsp is from a black & white paper pad I snagged for a bargain price at Tuesday Morning because the cover was missing, so I'm sorry I have no idea who the manufacturer might be. I love the delicate old-fashioned lacy look of it and I thought the rose looked perfect with it. I'll add the sentiment whenever I use this card. It can be a great Mother's day card, or used for many different occasions as well.

I'm entering this into the Cards in Envy - "Keep it Simple" challenge.

Wishing you a wonderful day whatever you happen to be doing! Thanks for taking time to stop by!

Gorgeous plus! Love the single rose that way and that background paper really does look like lace. It was the perfect paper for the pretty rose.

It's a beautiful image of a rose, and perfectly shaded & highlighted. I think it looks very pretty with the stitched rectangle mag over the delicate b&w lace too. Most elegant. TFS & Hugs
