It is the 20th, so that must mean another Dirty Dozen/Alumni challenge ;)
Today's challenge comes to us from Jami, who has put out the call to use our favorite things (stamps, techniques, embellishments).
The Stipple Rose (long ago retired SU) has always been a stand out favorite of mine. I get to use it about once or twice a year, but oh how I love to color it and cut it out (Tole~favorite technique!).
My all time favorite colors are Red, Black, Green & white. The colors just scream richness, to me. My favorite embellishments involve using the cuttlebug and nesties. And finally, my NEW favorite is the Urban Garden dp from SU!.

I have to say this is the most beautiful card I have seen in a very long time....that rose looks like you just went and picked it out of the garden.
I would just love to learn how to colour flowers like that....WOW
