I am using another new stamp today. What a sweet gift this mousey is bringing her friend. This rose reminds me of the Peace roses my dad used to grow. He had two rose beds and the Peace rose was my favorite. He had a knack for growning them. They were always large and beautiful. 

I used the bouncing brayer technique to make the sunbeams on the corner of my card. I used glossy card stock because the technique looks better to me on the glossy. I don't think I ever colored with alcohol markers on glossy card stock before. I liked how the coloring turned out.


Stamp:  Rose Surprise - Stampendous
Dies:  Stitched Rectangles - Want To Scrap
Sewn Frame - Gina Marie
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you over at the challenge. Have a great day!

Beautiful card. Peace roses also smelled like heaven too. We grew them for quite awhile and so did my mother which is where I got my love for the roses that have a great scent to them. [Bunny]
