i did the color wash with pretty in pink and Regal rose on Shimmery white paper. I layered it on Pearl Swirl embossed paper and layered it on a black leather like paper.
thanks to Stamp Muse for the paper and Anne Ryan for the charm. it`s been a long time since I was happy with the way one of my cards turned out, but I am liking this one. Maybe it`s one to many glasses of wine-lol
thanks for looking!

Oh, honey, this is GORGEOUS! Your reinker painting is to die for. I've been hoarding the fabulous colored rose that you sent me! Can't bring myself to use it because it is sooo pretty.
Back to your card ... I love the juxtaposition of the white embossed paper with the black leather. And your organza ribbon totally sets it all off. Really, really beautiful Peggy-Sue!

Now let me ask you this: How do you do a color wash? Ms Apple, also from Canada, tried to explain that to me but I couldnt understand. I would love to be able to color wash my bgs. The rose is a rose like no other! Didnt one else say that way back when? Anyway, it's just to die for, dahling.
