I made this card for the letter R Alphabet Challenge. The R's in my card are for the roses, the word Remarkable and the Rose Red ink used. A wonderful SCS friend gifted me with this gorgeous 3D butterfly die so I made this card as a thank you card for her. The butterfly is cut from watercolor paper that I had practiced on and could not use, but it sure makes a pretty butterfly die (it is very hard to see that in the photo though). Die cut the white panel and stenciled dots on it with silver ink. Stamped the roses 3 times each using different colors of ink, then the leaves are stamped 3 times using different colors of ink. Die cut the roses using the matching rose dies and fussy cut the leaves. White heat embossed the sentiment on the die cut banner and adhered on top of card. This card was a true joy to make because of the fun colors and because I was using my wonderful new 3D butterfly die and rose stamps/dies I got on a garage sale for $5.00. Fun! Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

This is so elegant and beautiful! Fabulous background die and your roses are stunning. The black sentiment banner with white embossed sentiment is almost like the bow finishing off the package. Perfect!
