Everything is coming up *Roses* at Sweet Stamps

I am excited to be part of the Sweet Stamps team- and this is my first challenge post- with the theme of * Roses*.

 
   I hope you will join in!  Each entry qualifies you for a chance to win $20 of rubber stamps from SweetStamps, and if you use a Sweet Stamps image- you will receive an additional chance to win!

   I used the SweetStamps Vellum for my image- after first swiping the static guard across it- to minimize static and flyaway embossing powder.  I embossed using the Ranger Queen's Gold Embossing powder. (When I first met SweetStamps at a trade show, I bought some of this- it is my favorite embossing powder- the color is gorgeous). I colored with Copic Markers on the front side of the vellum.

  For the brads- I did not have a matching gold color, so I dipped each brad tip in Pigment ink and then embossed the tip with the Queens Gold Embossing powder.
  
  I used a Cheery Lynn Die- Italian-deconstructed- I think the edges mimic a heart, so I added that accent in the corners- and sponged on a touch of Satin Rose Shades die ink for a little pop.

  The background still needed a little something, so I scored in diagonals every 3/8". The Pink and Gold shimmery cardstock is the icing : )
