Hi friends!
I'm back with another card for this week's card challenge
at the CCEE Stampers ~ Roses!
Vicky is our hostess for the month of June and says:
Symbolically, the rose has more meanings than one can count!
* A pink rose means perfect happiness, while a red rose means "I love you."
* A white rose signifies innocence, purity, and new beginnings.
* A yellow rose conveys jealousy.
A bouquet of roses means sincere gratitude, whereas a single rose amplifies the meaning of the color (a single red rose means "I REALLY love you"). She asked us to make a card with a single rose or a bouquet of roses . . . or however many roses you want!
Happy Rose Day!

You may have seen yesterday's post about my new Karin brushmarker pro markers, which I started playing with and just went in all kinds of directions!
I thought it would be fun to try them out with a floral stamp
and chose Organic Blooms by Mama Elephant.
I sure hope these are roses!
I had a little free time this weekend to give it a go.
Card #1 ~ colored (post TBA)
Card #2 ~ tie-dye watercolor wash (yesterday's card)
Card #3 (this one!) ~ simple brush watercoloring
I started by heat embossing a white panel of #120 lb cardstock
with white embossing powder and Versamark.
I heat set that and added different colored markers to my palette
and used the brush to add it to my florals.
At the time, I didn't have photo or guide
and had to 'wing it' as to what was where!

Once it was dry, I stamped and added a sentiment and popped it into a frame.
This has been on my desk for a few days and my little granddaughter
'helped' color it - can you see the tiny orange scribble with her colored pencil?
But how could I be upset! :)
These knew-to-me markers are definitely quite the learning curve

These knew-to-me markers are definitely quite the learning curve
But the process was fun and I wanted to present my card anyway
because we all start somewhere :)

I think it's wonderful to know where we start at
and over time, keep striving and keep learning!
