As the snow falls and the laundry tumbles, I had thoughts of summer and our yellow knockout roses on my mind! Seeing the bare bushes on either side of our little Max's grave had me longing for warmer days and those gorgeous yellow blooms. So, I put this together using this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Take a look...
I stamped an IO Fairy Rose with Versa Mark ink, gold heat embossed it, colored it with Copics and fussy cut it. It was added to a card base with a sweet Amy Tangerine embossed panel, a strip of PP and a little gold border snippet. The sentiment is by The Stamp Market.
I'll set this aside for our anniversary. You see, my guy planted those roses for me two years ago as a Mother's Day gift. More than once he's mentioned to me, "Those yellow roses are quite lovely, babe."
Re-iterating your hubby’s words… lovely yellow roses! Beautifuly coloured and the gold is elegant. .
