Who says roses are red?

When I think of roses I don’t just think of ivory, red or pink any more….these days roses seem to come in all sorts of colors. Shades of yellow,orange and last week I was in the florist shop and she even had purple roses!  I was surprised to find that the orange roses (yes,orange!) were my favorite that day.

Since it wasn’t a holiday or my birthday or any other special occasion in my household…I couldn’t think of a good reason to spend $50.00 on a dozen orange roses! So as my consolation prize I went home, skipped doing the laundry and made a card with orange roses.  (grin)

 

This card was made with Layers of Color’s Beautiful Lace set.  Such a pretty set. I used my Spellbinders tag die. Tsukineko inks are a must for me, in this case I used Momento Black. This is the best ink if your plan to color with Copics.

What makes it special is the lovely, shimmery card stock! This is Cryogen white and it is wonderful esp. with copic markers. And you can get it  at the PaperTemptress store.  ;D   But don’t stop with the Cryogen white… you’ll need some of the other great colored and textured papers that the PaperTemptress carries! I used a couple of colors from the Pop Tones line of paper, gumdrop green and tangy orange. Those color names even sound yummy.  ;D

Well, beautiful crafty friends… go make a card!  ;D

Love your "orange" roses! I have some of a similar color that are growing in my front yard, thanks to the former owner.
