Following from a thread on the Products section where someone was asking about grunge paper, I decided it was time to use up some of mine and try Tim Holtz's rose tutorial from the 12 Tags of Christmas.
So I was delighted to find this Notes Vase, from which I featured the rose, and then for the little clipboard on the vase I used a tag with a mini clip.
A2 base, sponged with Forest Moss. Next layer is white card sponged with Fired Brick and Spiced Marmalade. I tried Monday's embossing technique on my embossed panel, but got too much Versamark and EP on the whole thing, so I brushed it off and just dusted the embossed parts with Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls. Embossed layer and tag (Sizzix Tags #3, layered on chipboard for extra strengh) are from the Basic Grey basics manilla pad.
For the rose I used Spellbinders Blossoms 1, which has one more petal than the die Tim used but seems to work OK, grunge paper, Scattered Straw and Fired Brick re-inkers and Perfect Gold and Plum Perfect Pearls. The leaves are pressed rose leaves, Hero Arts sentiment and a WRMK clip. Tag is popped up on foam, Glossy Accents dew drops added to the rose and Liquid Pearls accents in the corners.
DH doesn't do Valentine's, so I made this into an anniversary card which I will now have to put somewhere safe and remember where that was, come June!

Super cool! I will have to check out that tutorial! I had to laugh at your comment about hiding the card and trying to remember where you put it - I have that problem all the time! Great card.
