I stamped the flowers in Toffee Crunch ink and then watercoloured with Distress Inks. I used a circle stencil to add dots to the background using a light green. The sentiment (Super Day - Penny Black) is stamped in more Toffee Crunch to finish the card.

Your roses look fab Loll, such a summery colour choice and subtle stencilling works so well as a background. Jessie looks to be flat out, a pose I often see with Max, but rattle a packet or open the fridge door and he's there in a flash! :)
Your roses are stunning! What a fabulous job you did with the watercoloring.
Beautiful! Just stunning
Pardon me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Your roses are absolutely gorgeous, Loll. What a beautiful job of watercoloring, my friend.
Your orange roses are stunning, Loll! That little bit of stenciling was a wonderful finishing touch. This is a marvelous way to send happy birthday wishes! You should link this up over at Just Us Girls for stencil week ;)
I have roses in my front garden that are that colour - you captured them perfectly! It's one of the few rose bushes I've managed to keep alive for many years (even thought I consider myself a good gardener, I've never had my mother's skill with roses!). Your shading is fabulous and I love the subtle bit of stencilling in the background.
Your roses are GORGEOUS, Lolly! Your no-line watercoloring is awesome! Jessie has the life!
Orange roses are my favorite, Loll!! Seldom seen, but I always buy them when I do!
Yours are so superbly water-colored with those distress inks! The dots are just what we were looking for at The Flower Challenge - thanks for joining us again, my friend!
