~A Yellow Birthday Rose and Gingham~





I've missed blogging last week!



Where did last week go???




I "attempted" cards all week...and have this colored rose to prove it.



It found a home on this card.





I embossed this rose with Stampendous Rubellite embossing powder.


When I colored with Copics, it got a bit smeary...but I like the way it shades the edges.



I'm so glad I colored it yellow....





I threw in some gingham tabs




There are birthday parties going on at CAS-ual Fridays:CFC51





I inked my birthday sentiment with Tim Holtz Distress mustard seed and tapped the edges with Memento plum to get a variegated effect.


Thank you for popping in today, I appreciate it so much!

Wow, cant believe you got this one is so many challenges! I love the beautiful yellow rose. 36 years ago I carried yellow roses with white daisies in my wedding bouquet.. it was the late seventies :) lol. Gingham is a favorite as well.
