Another Mother's Day card and another Mariola Budek image, this one called, appropriately, "Roses." What mom wouldn't love roses for Mother's Day? My daughter loves yellow roses so I decided that would be the color of these. I've printed three different copies of this black and white image so the other two will probably be red and pink, but I'm also thinking of white roses if I can figure out how to make them stand out from a white background. :-D
The image has been colored with a combo of Sanjoki markers and water color paints, with tiny dots of Diamond Stickles added as dew drops to 2 of the rose petals. I cut the shape of the image by laying on a Spellbinders die and drawing around it in pencil. Then I used scissors to cut on the pencil line. I inked the edges of the shape with a dark gray ink pad. The sentiment was cut with an Avery Elle die and I inked the edges of it, also.
I found twill ribbon in my stash and the yellow chevrons on it worked so well with the color of the roses. The bow was made with a bit of muslin fabric, folded accordion style and wrapped in the middle, then hand-stitched on the back to make it stay in that shape. Everything was mounted onto an olive green CS placed on the card front.
