Negative space rose

Love & rose die Heather Telford

I found this rose panel under a pile of scraps  a few days ago. I had created it back when I was making this card. When die cutting a negative rose mask out of masking paper to sponge through I naturally ended up with a rose out of masking paper too. I stuck that on the watercolour block and used some Memento pink and green inks that were open on my table. I painted diluted ink over the mask which did make the masking paper a little waterlogged but I let it dry completely before I peeled it off.  I used the 1 Corinthians text stamp to add background interest and sponged a little Sweet Plum in the corner before adding a fading green sentiment.

Have a lovely week.

Supplies:

Stamps:   Letter background, Love Chapter
Creative Dies: Rose
Inks:  Memento Sweet Plum, Angel Pink, Bamboo Leaves (Tsukineko) 
Cardstock:  Fabriano 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper

    The soft shading is so beautiful! I really would have a difficult time deciding if this or the original card is my favorite. Both are so pretty and it is so nice to get two wonderful cards from the die cut.
