Gentle Roses

This card base is Blush Blossom card stock. I used the border stamp from Gentler Times with Versamark on Elegant Eggplant card stock to make a border the length of the card. I trimmed it to size and cut a piece of Rose Red card stock the same size. I tore the Rose Red, and attached it to the Elegant Eggplant so it would show. The rose was stamped on Vanilla in Rose Red ink. I scraped the edge of the rose piece with a sponge with Rose Red ink first, and then lightly with Basic Black. I also brushed the sponge over the whole rose piece with Basic Black ink to "weather" it. The rose is matted with Rose Red card stock.
