Welcome to our new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and we hope you have fun with the spring flower theme. Although roses are probably not a flower one would choose as a spring flower I have 2 in my garden that flower very early and one has a wonderful scent.
The stamps are from 2 sets, one is a Penny Black floral set and the other is an MFT sentiment set. I also used a swirls debossing die from Altenew and a stitched frame die from Paper Rose. Using Versamark I stamped the images and then heat embossed them in gold. Then I used some Distress inks as watercolour and added colour to them. I did 2 layers for each to add strength and fussy cut them before gluing together. Using a rose gold shimmer stix dauber I went over the background piece as I felt it was quite stark but didn’t want to add colour. I also added some shimmer to the roses.
It is a simple card but I think quite effective visually. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.

Beautiful! I like the eye catching details. The swirly background is perfect for the framed roses. I may have to CASE your card when I have the time.

Lovely! The shimmer you added to your pierced background looks so pretty behind your roses. Use of the frame looks nice as well.

Many thanks. I was a bit worried about the shimmer on the background at first but once it was fully dry I liked it myself.

This is lovely Johanna. The gold embossing is a beautiful touch that makes the flowers stand out. Your background is gorgeous with the piercing, too.

Lovely card. I really like the background for your frame and roses. Love that you heat embossed in gold and then softly watercolored.

My original intention was for something quite different but somehow this evolved and I liked the result.

Sometimes I forget how to use a frame creatively. My mind sees things very literally at times and I get stuck for an idea, but this one turned out to be a creative way to do a card.
