The roses were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. Just trying the paper/pencil combination with a very old Hero Arts stamp which I still love. I decided to let the image stay simple because, truthfully, I like it as is with no background shading or artsy stuff.
In the background is the retired SU Floral background stamped in SU retired Gable Green. All these things are old favorites. Even the die I cut the background panels with is an oldie but goodie. The image and stamped background were both in the drawer. I simply die cut and put them together. Very CAS and fun for a change.

CAS at it's best! Beautiful card Leslie, just love the simplicity of this (you always do so well with simplicity, where I struggle). Gable green - I haven't used that in so long, nice to see some old favourites brought back out. Lovely colours and design. Love this! Enjoy your day!

Such a great card, and way to go to use up some more UFOs!
Very pretty. Simplicity is always nice. Have a great day
This is very pretty. I love it when simple comes together so well. Hugs.
Love your beautiful Clean and Simple card design, Leslie. Wonderful use of your UFO's. Love the pretty stamped background panels and sweet pencil and gamsol colored main floral image. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
A very lovely card design with all the wonderful roses.
I'm loving your UFO-based cards, Leslie! Your roses are beautiful and I love the way you repeated the words on the panel. Your favorites are some of my favorites! Love that floral background.
There is beauty in simplicity and you have created just that here, my friend! Don't you just love when something just all goes together so quickly!!! Great CAS card. Hugs
The roses are adorable and don't need anything else! The background is one of my old favorites too and I haven't shown it love in a long time. Another example of UFOs fitting together perfectly!
Great card - sometimes CAS are the best! I personally like all the old SU colors better than the new ones. Cute roses! Hope all it well. Take care!
love the simple line drawn rose and your pencil work is perfect match. Great framing with the DP :)
Lovely design for clean and simple, pretty stamps that compliment so well, like the touch using the rhinestones, always feels good to use up our goodies we have waiting to be used!
Oh Leslie, I'm so happy to see you playing along with us over at SHOPPING OUR STASH, I'm glad you are using your UFO's and joining us in our gallery.
This card is so beautiful, so delicate and perfectly colored, I can see why this little flower stamp is dear to your heart.
Love the green flowery panels, they look like antique fabric, so pretty.
Thank you for playing along with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, I hope you come back and play again soon.
