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!

Your Roses are Beautiful, Lolly:-) Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend:-) How fun to get your new flowers looking so Gorgeous :-) Love and Hugs, Nancy
Your orange roses are gorgeous and you colored them beautifully. Love the stenciled background. I have been eyeing that beautiful stamp set since you have made so many beautiful cards with it.
Orange is not a go to color for me, but your roses are absolutely beautifully colored, Loll! PB has the prettiest stamps. TFS
This is gorgeous!
Beautiful roses in orange!!! Great stenciling too. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
The roses our blooming my way now and I have been enjoying them. Thanks for adding this beauty to that enjoyment. there is something so special about roses xx
Gorgeous coloring, Loll. Would love to pick a bunch for my living room!
The color you chose is stunning. Orange, a little coral... I've only seen roses in that color once in my life and I was thrilled. I admire the brilliant work with the watercolor, and adding the delicate stenciling in the background perfectly complements the card. Brilliant design, my dear Loll.
xx
