Yellow Roses Remind Me of You


Yellow Roses Remind Me of my Dad and my husband.
When I was a young lass, my Dad gave me yellow roses.
When I was a bride, I carried yellow roses.
Just thinking about yellow roses, my Dad, memories, and wanted to make something - here it is.


Stamped the base stamp in Honey re-inker - several times without re-inking.
Stamped detail stamp in the beautiful Slate ink.
Added Liquid Glass and a little Honey re-inker to a foam craft brush and "painted" it on the rose.
Then took the same foam brush and dabbed a line of same along the left side of card and on the "Valentine" element.
Pounced a little more Slate ink with my foam pouncer tool.
Cut some Cricut hearts in Hollyhock - filled with Liquid Glass and a mini sparkle.
SO hard to wait for the Liquid Glass to set - there may be fingerprints. Popped the heart with foam tape.

Sentiment says, "My Valentine family is" on the front.
Inside it says, "The story of love". 
Added some new cool Washi tape added some mats and leaves - done.

I would love to see a video of how you did the rose (as it looks like you had a shade of yellow along with Honey and Slate)!
