Triple challenge on this one: inspiration, ways to use it, limited supply. This is a small square card because I didn't like the way it was turning out as a normal one. Stamped the simple stripes in pretty in pink then changed direction and stamped it in creamy caramel. Came out a bit crooked, but the rest of the card is straight. Stamped the RIW in pretty in pink (bottom) and regal rose (detail) then the leaves in certainly celery. Sponged creamy caramel around to fill in the white spots, and to darken some of the roses up a bit. Sponged creamy caramel around the sides too. Stamped two more roses and cut them out with leaves to go on top of the main images after adhering to pretty in pink cardstock. Adhered a scrap of rose ribbon I found in a scrap pack from Joann's and ...... presto!!
