Go Green - TIOT

Go green as in recycle.  I actually ended up re-purposing, but I figure that is close enough.  I used the new image Cameo Rose drawn by Elisabeth Bell exclusively for SCACD

I knew that I wanted to have some of those gorgeous prima roses on this card.  I had the perfect blue one and then I had a light grey and a dark grey one and that was IT.  Now, I know you are all cringing, I was too, but the grey had to become pink.  I know, I know, grey roses are hard to find and usually would be perfect for what I make, but not this time. (by the way- SCACD does have grey roses and they are on SALE)

Out came the Smooch Spritz in Pink Sparkle because really, what could I lose?  Might as well give it a go, right?  30 seconds later I had this:

WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! PINK roses!!! 

I left them to dry and began assembling my card.  I used another of the fabulous new embossing folders by Craft Concepts called Stately.  I inked the embossing a bit to give it the 'aged' look.  Anyone else have the white bed with the gold paint to 'antique' it or am I the only one that old?

The image was cut and matted and then I used the rose covered paper by K&Company in the Sweet Nectar paper pack. 

I arranged the now perfect colored roses below the image with some die cut leaves.  Then, feeling the need for just a touch more, I grabbed two of the new Smooch colors Lettuce and Shabby Pink to highlight the leaves and roses.

Get Inky!
