Well whatever happened to Spring ? After a promising start to the week we have rain again.........hubby tells me that's good as we needed it to wash in the fertiliser he spread on the paddocks Monday. I know he's right, but oh for some warmer brighter weather.I have created quite a quick and simple card following the sketch at Inspiration Card Sketches, but have twisted it a bit which hopefully they won't mind and it still fits the challenge OK. The rose image is Penny Black 3815J and I have coloured the roses with my new Prismacolor pencils drawing on the pastel shades of the Scrapbook Walls DP. I made three roses from the same DP and added a border and corner punched with Martha Steward Eyelet Lace. To embellish, some pearls, punched leaves and Diamond Glaze to the stamped roses.

Hi Brenda, what a lovely card and the colours are great. Love the roses and what a brilliant idea to use the punch on the corner as well. Tell your hubby I'm glad we've had some rain too as we spent Sunday afternoon applying weed and feed to half an acre - wouldn't have wanted to take a watering can to it lol. Take care, Linda x
Hi B, this is so pretty, I love the image. Also love the punched edge & corner.
