I just had to use my new 3 steps rose stamp set, but 3 steps means a lot more time spent taking the stamps on and off the acrylic block, inking, cleaning etc... To make it worthwhile I organised a production line to get some extras roses for later projects. By the time I'd finished that... I was all spent and I thought the roses thrown over the white card looked great just like that and more wouldn't necessary be better.
So... CAS then, just as well since this is the challenge at Artful Times.
On a practical note, because I didn't have enough shades of red to get the best results with the rose, I mixed my inks directly on the stamp with a Cut & Dry foam, light ink first then darker ink on top (sparingly) them soften with foam.
Where is the mistake I hear you ask? As expected, I provided several with no help... The right hand rose is quite a bit off in the third stamping (the darker shade) and as I took the photo of the finished page I didn't notice the small square of foam pad release paper clinging to a leaf, but I bet you can find more if you look!
I am also entering the Artistic Stamper and My Mum's Craft Shop challenges.
Thanks for coming by,
Absolutely stunning roses, beautiful CAS card. Can see your 1 mistake lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote, never seen this one before. Great entry:-) xxx
A really lovely card, C! I hear you on the assembly line and I have so many going that I am perpetually confused!!! LOLOL I really like the colors you chose. They really gave depth to your image!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, excellent quote. You must be a perfectionist, as I can only see the foam pad paper on the leaf, and that's hardly a mistake ;))
ReplyDeleteThose roses are beautiful and well worth the 3 stamp effort.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not looking for any mistakes - I like it and that is that. Love how you did your roses, worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Artful Times.
Hugs, Neet xx
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and a good quote.
ReplyDeleteAh, my dear, this is an excellent example of why I don't stamp!! I can't begin to imagine you have to change your stamp so many times to get such a beautiful image. But I believe it must be worth it, because mistakes or no (which I couldn't find on the rose), this is a truly stunning card and a beautiful (and in my opinion humorous) quote.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote and wow roses - thanks for sharing the technique - beautiful card x
ReplyDeleteJust like in nature, these roses look perfect in their imperfection! I think they have a lot of color and depth and I like that they are not all the same. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully clean and "simple" looking card, The roses are gorgeous and unless you knew to look would not notice any "mistakes" (except maybe the square of paper lol) there are no such things in crafting I keep being told just happy accidents,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses! And a great quote too! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this clean and simple card. Those roses are gorgeous and I love the quote. The colours are fab. I can't notice any mistakes and wouldn't have noticed the release paper if you hadn't said! Thank you for visiting me xx
ReplyDeleteSuper stamping, and those pesky squares get everywhere don't they? Thanks for visiting me BJ.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and stunning roses!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote!! I must write that one down and bear it in mind lol. Love this CAS style and your roses are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shaped card.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a fan of Roses as my mothers maiden name was Rose, then I giggled about the mistake but seriously this card is truly beautiful. When I giggled, I thought, I am like you always making mistakes without even trying, I am the clumsy clot at the best of times. Thanks for the laugh.

Your rose stamp is perfect for a CAS card. I can't see a mistake and I'm sure the lucky recipient won't either.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous red roses! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Artistic Stamper.
