Rose Garden

Hello-

While I had this stamp out, I made several cards.  The first two have already been posted.  They were watercolored.  This time I stamped them on cream cardstock and colored with copics.  I have to say I kinda like the warmth of the cream cardstock.

I had bought this in 100lb weight for card bases on watercolor cards.  Between the first time and the most recent time buying the cardstock ream, the cream color was not as light and it no longer matches my watercolor paper.  So now I am going to use it as I would use white card stock for a while.

It adds a warmth to the cards I think.  My cards were inspired by Double D Challenges, Rose Garden.




I'll be entering this last card over at Double D.  IT has a two toned colored rose, similar to the one in the lower left corner of the inspiration photo. (though I chose to invert the colors)






Thanks so much for visiting.

Your coloring just goes from strength to strength, Cat! These look like professional high-end boutique cards sold in a set of three for a whole wad of money! So gorgeous and I love the cream. I have 250 sheets of it in a brand new half-ream. Why do I never reach for it??? Hugs, Darnell

I like all the color variations! Do you get your cardstock at michaels? I just saw their cream cardstock and noticed it looked darker than what I got before...
