Roses on Floral

Welcome back!  I'm glad you came.  I have another card made with UFOs (unfinished objects).  Lately I've been trying to use them in combination with my NBUS (never before used schtuff), but today it's all UFOs.

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.

Linking again to the challenge that inspired me:





Details are summed up below.  Thanks a bunch for stopping by!


Stamps:  Hero Arts Posy Prints, SU Floral background  Paper:  Arches 140 lb hot press watercolor for focal image, SU Whisper White for Floral background, textured white for card base  Ink:  Memento London Fog and Tuxedo Black for focal image, SU Gable Green for Floral background  Coloring:  Prismacolor Pencils  Dies:  Spellbinders Scored and Pierced Rectangles, Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles  Other:  Rhinestones, Scotch brand foam mounting tape

    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!

    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!
