Out with the New and in with the Old #4

 I am here again with another card using an old wooden stamp. I have always loved this rose stamp, but I have not used it in a long time! 

I stamped the rose on vellum using clear ink and white embossing powder. I colored the rose with alcohol markers on the back of the image. I really like this look and I need to do this technique more often!

I cut the vellum diagonally and added it to the bottom of colorful cardstock.



Wooden Stamp: Rose - Inkadinkado
Embossing Powder: Detail White - Stampendous
Die: Thinking of You - unknown
Patterned Paper: Exotic Color - Stamplistic
Star Sequins: Charleston - Catherine Pooler
Alcohol Markers - Caliart

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
