Pink Roses

Good morning everyone.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  It's all good here this morning and I'm ready to face a brand new week.  I'm here to share a tag I made using homemade pink roses.


I used the Spellbinders Rose Creations for the flowers.  They are made from watercolor paper and I colored the edges of the petals with pink PanPastels.  I have to say it was a learning experience for me as when I wet the petals so I could shape them, the color ran a little.  I used Heartfelt Creations dies for the white elements on the tag and the sentiment.

I  know this is short and sweet this morning but I'm off to visit some of my blogging friends.  Also my Bio is being featured this morning over on the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog.  Gloria is posting every one's story so you can get to know us.  So follow along and see who we are...we want to tell our story and have you become one of us and join  in the challenges that will be coming.  Help us make this a success because let's face it....we are all hoarders by nature even if we don't admit it.  Let this be the year to use it up!

Absolutely stunning tag. Your flowers look amazing. I started using watercolor paper for flowers because I like how you can color and manipulate them.
Look at the dimension....
Bear Hugs,
