It was my lovely blogging friend Di's birthday last month and this is the card that I sent her. I stamped the image using versamark ink then heat embossed with shimmery embossing powder and coloured in using my new Derwent Watercolour pencils. I'm loving how the colour blends across the card so well. I die cut the finished card using Crafts-Too Square Dies scalloped edge and attached to pink card stock. A sheet of acetate covers the front of the card and is adhered with tiny pink brads before securing to the white card base. The sentiment is a silver sticker from my stash.
Now here's the thing, I had coloured this stamp in believing it to be a rose so coloured it accordingly but on checking the package to write up the details I find that it is actually a Camellia by Woodware.! Moral of the story is check what you are doing before you start!

Yes indeed - I absolutely adore it and didn't for one minute think it was anything other than a rose! It looks like an old fashioned David Austen rose to me :) And the whole card is even more gorgeous in real life!
