Soft Rose

Hello fellow crafters. For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you are

enjoying what appears to be wonderful summer weather. However, for those of us

'down under' we are experiencing unusually cold weather, and in most parts of 

Australia, we are in desperate need of rain. We are just a few weeks away from 

spring, and already we look as if it is at the end of a very dry summer.

Enough of my 'whinging'...here is a very spring-like rose for you.

This card is for a lady who will be celebrating her 70th birthday very soon, but as

she doesn't know I have a blog it is safe to show you now.

I love making my parchment roses...no two ever turn out the same, although by using the 

same combination of inks if I make a batch, they will have 'tonal' co-ordination. For

this card, I just used one large rose. The various foliage die-cuts were 

sponged with 'Sage' green ink.

As usual, I have made the inside of the card to match the design on the front.
