A Rose for a Friend!

I have just finished making this card for someone, I do hope they like it! The stamp is from the Joanna Sheen Garden Fairy Collection - the 'Wild Rose' Set. This is such a beautiful stamp and one I turn to time and again! My rose has been stamped in Black Versafine and water coloured using and embossing pens so that I could clear emboss the image. I have then sponged inks around the image and over stamped a large cheesecloth background stamp in a pink dye ink to give it some texture. Embellish with a clip and some black satin ribbon, a fancy die cut corner and a sentiment held onto the ribbon with a little safety pin. I then matted and layered the image onto white and black card before attaching to the card base.
