Roses

| Double Delight Tree Rose |
I love the beautiful Impression Obsession Five Roses stamp so it was my choice to use for the IO Welcome to my Garden challenge. I'm also entering the Spring Flowers challenge at SSS Wednesday. I actually had hubby take out all but my tree roses in back so we can let Fritz run off a tether without getting stuck by the thorns. 60 roses is way too many for me to manage at this point anyway & I still have the ones in front.
On to my card done with Gelatos on watercolor paper. I spritzed the flower panel, the background & the lace with Tattered Angels Wheatfields.
The background piece was done by applying the Gelatos directly to the C-A-C Spatter & the swirl in the Follow Your Heart set which also contains the quote I embossed using Memento Olive Grove. The spatter
is stamped on the kraft card using Distress Ink frayed burlap.
Fritz was ready to play when I got home from work yesterday. Hard to get him to stay still long enough for a picture! Hope you have a great week & thank you for checking my blog.
Beautiful card!

What a thoughtful mom and dad Fritz has, making his yard more 'doggie-friendly'! And what a cutie-patootie he is! Nothing like unbridled rambunctiousness to bring a smile to your day!! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteWow Greta! Don't know how i missed this beauty! What a stunning card! Love your beautiful rose garden!
ReplyDeleteWow, 60 rose bushes is a lot to care for! The one in your pic is gorgeous; I'm a sucker for the two-toned ones. And your card is beautiful! I have gelatos now but haven't done much with them. Fritz is such a cutie! Looks like he's grown a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think I might have swallowed my tongue with that gasp, Great! This card is extraordinary! Really extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, sixty roses is a ton of roses! Mine (only three!) are gone now, too; just kept getting diseases. One of them was the double delight. That's such a singularly fragrant and gorgeous rose.
Awesome photo of you and the Fritz! Lovely to see him growing up and seeing you so happy with him! I'm sorry I've been a bad bloggie friend with my lack of visiting. Between the class and gardening and this and that, the days are over too quickly! Hopefully, things will slow down a bit soon and I can get back into my routine of visiting! Hugs, Darnell
