I chose June roses to match the old fashioned rose in my paper. I tried something new on the book page rose, nail polish on wire for the stamen. I should have made the twists a little wider to get the full effect. Here's my card. Fashionable Ladies by Covington Crafter - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Was in the hospital on Friday getting a procedure - so this is a bit late for the MIX challenge.

Michele you have a WONDERFUL gallery, and the very first card gave me this inspiration. Congrats!!
