A Sketchy Rose

Hi, I'm back again! Can you believe it - 3 cards/posts  in one day!

This card was inspired by the challenge at A Blog Named Hero. They we want to see projects that use only a small section of the card, small pieces or small-scaled items like tags etc. 

So I thought of the gorgeous stamp set from Stamplorations - Boxed Blooms and decided to use the never before used rose image.

I wanted the colouring to look a bit sketchy too. I stamped with Hero Arts black ink,  clear embossed and then coloured with Twinkling H2Os. I think next time I might use a crackle embossing powder over the top to make it look like a stained glass window. I don't have the cracle embossing powder so it's now on the wishlist!
The sentiment is from an old hero Arts set.

I'm also linking this up to the Stamplorations Anything Goes (never-ending challenge) and the Happy Little Stampers challenge - theme is Embossing.
