Sepia Roses - Flourishes

Hi there!

I have a card made with the Flourishes' "Roses are Red" Set that I won recently from them.



 
 
 
I LOVE this image and couldn't wait to color it!  The Timeless Tuesday Challenge this week is for a vintage creation, I hope this is vintage enough!  I decided to do it as a monotone after seeing the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge this week for it.  I did it in a vintage sepia color combination, which I love, using my pencils and mineral spirits.  The photo isn't the best as it's much prettier in real life.  The beautiful bow is made with Crumb Cake Seam Binding that my sweet cyber friend Jill (JD) gave me!  The photo doesn't show it, but it actually goes perfectly with the image and papers and has a gorgeous color variation on it from the light.
 
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
 
 
Card Recipe:
 
Stamps: Roses are Red (Flourishes)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Quicksand, Bitter Chocolate (Bazzills)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Dark Chocolate (Palette)
Accessories: Sponge, Crumb Cake Seam Binding (RAK from Jill), adhesive pearls, Labels 23 Grand, Floral Ovals (Spellbinders), Bow-Easy, mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils: Peachy Beige, Light Umber, Dark Brown, Espresso, Black
 
Thank you for stopping by!
 
Blessings!
