I was walking through a field near where I live and ran across a wild rose bush with two hardy and determined blooms proclaiming their love of the rain we've had over the last 2 weeks in the midst of year five of the worst drought in recorded weather statistics. I was so impressed by that rose bush, I came home and made this card, using a beautiful image from MHK Designs.
Since December was my last month on that DT, it feels good to be using one of Mynn's lovely images again. And this time, I get to play in the challenge over there instead of having done a DT card for it! :-D
I used chalk markers to color the rose then cut it and the light pink frame, which is patterned dp, with dies from Sue Wilson. The lace is new, one of the goodies I found at the after Christmas sales. The deep pink dp is also from MHK Designs, but after I printed it, I ran it back through the printer to print outline images of the same rose onto it.
The feather was in my stash and I only remembered to add it because I had been cleaning and reorganizing my craft room and ran across the box of feathers I have on hand. Do you ever "lose" things in all the supplies you have? No, no, don't fib to me about it! lol
I plan to use this one as a birthday card.

I started off with the sketch from Sketch Saturday
but I flipped it top to bottom.

Very pretty and I love that gorgeous rose. How wonderful to hear about the wild roses struggling through :-) Yes - I 'lose' things too hahaha xxx
Yes good luck to all those buried roses, but they are strong and will pop their little heads out sooner or later. You did a wonderful job with this very pretty image. Your colors are soft and sweet. Yes I'm guilty of losing things all the time. I lose thing sitting right at my desk. If I didn't have to spend so much time finding things I could make double the amount of card. LOL Have a wonderful day.
This is gorgeous, love the colours you have used on the roses. Beautiful feather too.
