Yellow Roses... A Beginning....


As you know, I love making roses and yellow roses are something I have never tried.  I can see by looking that I'm going to have to rethink what I do next time.  Although, this card is much prettier in person, I still feel like it just needs something.  A dear friend of mine suggested I do yellow roses because they are her favorites.  I will keep trying girl, I promise. 
I'm going to enter this into the challenge over at Joan's Gardens.  The rules this week are:
Make a Butterfly Card...Done
Use Green and Yellow...Done
Use something from Nature...Done
Have at least three layers....Done

I used lots of Spellbinders Dies and some pretty Prima paper to make this.  And oh yes, the sentiment is from Flourishes. 

That is all for me today.  It's Monday and I have a list of chores a mile long!  Have a great day and as always, I hope you have time to create!

Glenda this card is absolutely gorgeous. The yellow rose are out of this world. It did a fantastic job on them and I can't see why you would need to work on them any more. The roses look just like the ones that I took pictures of in my dream last night. Yes I had a dream like that last night. They are beautiful as they stand and the rest of the card is beautiful too.
Hugs,
Gretchen
