I know there are lots of cards with these roses, but here's my version. The roses were stamped with white craft ink onto Shimmery White CS and embossed with clear EP. After spritzing them with water, I colored them using reinkers and the aqua painter. The Close to Cocoa strip is DSP that I spritzed with alcohol and ran it through the Big Shot with a texture plate. When it was dry, I sanded the surface with a sanding block to expose the white inner core of the paper. The smaller leaves were made with the Birds and Blooms die. The larger leaves were cut from a folded piece of CS. The veins were drawn in with a stylus and then sponged with certainly celery ink.
