Technique Tuesday

This is my second card for today. I colored these roses several days ago and then got sidetracked with Halloween and other things. So, today I finished the roses card.

This card was created with the Color Hues in mind: https://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/09/special-challenge-lindseys-legacy-hop.html

I used SU gray for the cardbase, Accent white for the roses and the embossed shape. The stamp set used is Technique Tuesday Sending Roses along with coordinating dies. The shape was cut from SU Deco Labels and embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added gems from Taylored Expressions (purple ones) and Stampin Up (red ones).

Today was the perfect day for me to post a rose card. It would have been my mother’s birthday and roses were her favorite flower. Each year, I would purchase a new rose set to use on her birthday card. This was a new set given to me, so I was thrilled to use it. I think my Mom would have preferred her roses to be just one color, but she would have enjoyed this card. Thanks for spending time with me and reading about my rose card.

It has been a long time since I have made a slimline card. The CAS Colours & Sketches has a sketch that makes a slimline card, so I dusted off the cobwebs and got busy making a slimline card. I own many dies for this card size and used not even one with this card.

For this card, I used a variety of products. I used Technique Tuesday Marigold Flower (2021) coloring it with Pale Papaya and Mint Macaron both SU colors that are retiring in two weeks. The Hello die and mini strip are Gina K Designs from A Little Hello Layering Stencil Bundle (2021). The patterned paper is SU, cut down from a card base.

This will be entered in three challenges.
