heartfelt roses and thanks!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog! and hopefully it will start your week off on the right foot!
I used the beautiful, Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set for my card! I heat embossed the image onto white cardstock and then used Distress Inks to ink blend around it.

I used Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberries and Dried Marigold Distress Inks to add the color. then I die cut it out with the Heart Frames Die Set. then I die cut out some butterflies using the Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set and stitched them on with my sewing machine! I love the dimension those butterflies add to the card.
and, I even resisted splattering any water or white acrylic ink on top! lol!

for the cardbase, I used some dark green cardstock and Black Soot Distress Ink to add some darkness around the edges. then I used some white embossing paste and the Trailing Leaves Stencil to add some texture!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut out the sentiment!

I love how this came out - and the colors are super unique to me!
hope you like it too!
enjoy!
