The inspiration for this card comes from the Flourishes I Love Roses set. The roses are exquisite and I wanted to use them as much as I could. I stamped and masked an entire background then colored it blue with a wash of color from my reinker. Then I went back in and did a little bit of shading with the same color. Then I cut out the Spellbinders Decorative Frame set and sponged on the embossed swirls and added pearls. I cut out the Spellbinders Labels One Die and added the sentiment from Flourishes Thinking of You set. After ribbon, a sweet little crochet flower and a pin - this one is done!
