Oh Happy Day!
Roses!! A few days ago my new Kitchen Sink stamp set “3-Step Hearts and Roses” arrived and I couldn’t wait to make a card with them. Well one card ended up being three!! Woohoo!! The hardest part about stamping these roses was trying to figure out what color to make them…. KIDDING!!! Of course I made them pink. Do roses come in any other color?
The colors I used (in order) for the roses and leaves are:
Roses: Blush Blossom, Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Bravo Burgundy
Leaves: River Rock, Old Olive, Garden Green
The only variation was on the back card “for you.” Once I had stamped the roses I once again stamped the entire rose with Versamark, applied Crystal Clear embossing powder and then heat set. I then brayered over the flowers in Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. The background is also stamped with SU!’s “Itty Bitty Backgrounds.” The designer paper is SU!’s new “Afternoon Tea.”
Stamps: Kitchen Sink 3-Step Hearts and Roses and SU! Itty Bitty Backgrounds, All Holidays, Warmest Regards, Fancy Flexible Phrases
Paper: SU! DP Afternoon Tea, Whisper White, Cameo Coral, Bravo Burgundy, Garden Green
Ink: River Rock, Old Olive, Garden Green, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Blush Blossom, Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Bravo Burgundy
Accessories: Primas, Brads, GG Ribbon, Metallic Cording, Oval Punch, Brayer
wowzers.. those rock, Susan!! I am so intimidated by two step stamps, but you obviously have a *gift*! Right on!!
Susan, your blog is beautiful. I love the banner and your name. Can I add you to my blog roll???
These rose cards are gorgeous, Susan! Of course the roses should be pink!!
Wow! These are so pretty, Susan! How funny we posted the same set today! I love the way you stamped the pink roses and combined them with all those different colors. You really showed them off nicely. BTW, I’m going to get you and all the other Dirty Girls’ blogs linked just as soon as I have that much free time at the computer. Got to stamp our challenge card tonight… I’m so excited you started a blog! What a perfect name for your blog, too!

Oooh, these are all gorgeous, Susan! Thanks for the inspiration and enabling. I want this set so bad, but I’m trying to wait until March 3 when they unveil their Easter and Spring sets, just in case there will be more sets I’ll just have to have. Linda
