I got this beautiful SSS die in a sale after Christmas. Isn't the font beautiful? I inlaid the words cut from gold metallic cardstock into a dry embossed green rectangle for a classic holiday look. The gold trim has been in my stash forever & gave just a bit of interest, but still keeps it CAS. The card is ivory which I love with green & gold. Kept this one pretty flat, so I can even mail it without extra postage--yah! I'm entering SSS Flickr, Share Joy, & HLS CAS.
I knew the rain was coming, so cut pretty much all the roses that weren't tight buds. This is one of 2 very full vases. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Oh my gosh, Greta your roses are stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. And your card is so pretty too with that lovely sentiment.

ReplyDeleteElegant card, Greta, gold and green is a perfect combination! I need you to plant a rose garden for me...and trim them, and feed them, nourish them, talk to them (oh, I could do that!!) can you just move in with me?? *wink*
