Sometimes the simplest cards, can be the most elegant. This is another card from my stint as Guest Designer at iheart2stamp.com, and my favorite one of the bunch.
I stamped the roses with almost amethyst and vintage violet on shimmery white CS, while the leaves were done with mellow moss, and always artichoke. I then over stamped it all with french script in sahara sand. I sponged the edges in violet and then matter it on amethyst. I stamped the sentiment in violet over a stamped off flower, and added it to the image layer with some aged copper hodgepodge.
My base was violet, sponged and then sahara, sponged in violet, as well. I added the white organdy, and the stitched grosgrain to the card, and heat curled the ends with my heat tool. I added some more aged copper brads, and put the image panel on with dimensionals. This is another one I have not been able to give away, either...LOL. Have fun and happy stamping!!
I love this card too! I adore Roses in Winter but I absolutely love your color choices too! TFS! I may have to case! Jeanne
