My card today features one of my favorite roses, the Duchess. I remember my mother had one of these bushes in her rose garden when I was a young child. It was such a delicate pink with a hint of lavender and white edges on the petals. I used this for a Mother's Day card in honor of my mom who's been gone for more than 30 years now.
I used my Sanjoki markers to color the rose and leaves, then cut the image with a stitched die from CUTplorations. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. The background paper came from a Paper House stack. I added 3 rows of tiny gems along the right side and added one gem to the center of the rose. It just didn't need any further embellishment. :-D
