Roses Encouragement Card

Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing my Rose Encouragement Card featuring a beautiful card front from Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose Paper Collection.

I quickly created and colored the roses and leaves with Memento Inks and a sponge dauber.  I also find when I am mass producing a large number of cards featuring roses (and I am impatient and don't want to sit there and wait for the glue to dry) it works really well to use a glue gun to adhere the layers of petals.  A low temp glue gun works great because then you are not burning your fingers when working with the small petals.

For more inspirations from the other designers, please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog.  Have a great day!
