Good morning Peeps, today we should be just back from our hols so this was scheduled before we went just in case but all things going to plan I should now be doing the unpacking before having a mega catch up with you over the weekend.
So, time to tell you about our new challenge at Allsorts where Helene would love to see Roses on our work. They are the most beautiful quintessential summer flower and for a second week running my card is based on them. Our sponsor is Marianne Designs.

My elegant lady has a rose in her hand as well as on her hat and I used a few more to decorate my card. The image is a really old wood mounted stamp, I actually reaslied the other day when we were talking about various family events that I must have had her for eleven years as she was in a box of stamps selected for me one Christmas by hubby.............that was way back in the days when family used to buy me crafty goodies with no worry of repeats, now they think I have far too many.
I stamped her with black versafine and embossed with detail clear powder and coloured her very lightly with Specrtum pencils, some Trimctaft DP and silk crush ribbon bow and pearls to embellish.
Happy weekend all.

Very Pretty card Brenda. The image is lovely and beautifully coloured. I have many flowers which I love but roses are my favourite especially red ones. I recently planted a red rose called Darcy Bussell outside my craft room window and she is absolutely stunning, deep red double blooms with a beautiful scent.
I hope you had e fabulous holiday and are feeling much better now.
Take care

This lady is so lovely. Long ago I borrowed that very stamp from a fellow stamper, and did this for a Red Hat person (shades of red & purple). The image colors up so nicely, and I have no idea of the mfrg. Love the soft feminine shades of pink & misty white on her dress & draperies. The stripe dp is very pretty combined with the darker pink paper, and of course, those tiny roses are gorgeous with the pearl stickpins. Wonderful gauzy bow, and just a truly elegant, ladylike card! So glad you were able to get away for a little vacation, and hope all the dental problems are all resolved. Big hugs & TFS
beautiful card Brenda!! love the roses.. the image of the lady is elegant!!
and hope you had a nice time.. take care..
So gorgeous and elegant Brenda, I do love that shade of pink, so pretty.
