Becky presented a lovely palette of colors for today's CC:
So Saffron
Smoky Slate
Strawberry Slush
There was a dessert of twine which I did not add since my card has a more formal look and I don't think of twine as being formal.
This birthday card is for a special friend and will be hand-delivered with a gift. I didn't have Becky's chosen gray, so used a gray that I thought was close. It was a great bg color for the scrolls of the die cuts. The rolled roses were tinted with the SU reinkers and an aqua brush.

I am sure your friend will love this elegant creation complete with the most beautiful hand colored and rolled roses....the only thing even better is that it will be hand delivered by the artist, herself! What could be more special? This is lovely, Sallie!
