Karen has chosen such pretty color combo this week you can find this challenge here to play along, and I squeaked in some bitty heat embossed "roses" that were colored with the distress oxide inks and have pencil shadows/streaks. (they are probably more like wild ones than hybrid tea roses if you squint haha) I did the background on a gelli plate with some acrylic paint guessing at the shade of lipstick. Thanks for this challenge Karen & tfl.

What a fascinating background, Stacy! I haven't delved into gelli plates (yet!). Lovely little roses, and i love all the layers and shapes that highlight your sweet greeting!

Wow, Stacy, I LOVE this! The background has so much amazing texture and the roses so sweet. I especially love the sentiment, and how you presented it as the main focal point. Gorgeous card!
