Hugs & Love

At Joan's Gardens, the challenge is to use this recipe:
                Use a flower as your focal point
                Use black and red
                Use an embossing folder
                Use either a stamped or die-cut border at the bottom

Here's my card, heavily influenced by this one I posted a few days ago:

supplies: white card base, black, red, and green cardstock, Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder, Hero Arts CL596 Pattern Hearts & Flowers, CG288 Scallop Borders, Versafine onyx black ink,  heart punch from Michael's, Hero Arts red gems, Scrapbook Adhesives foam squares

Because I was kind of following the outlines of my previous card, I chose the herringbone embossing folder for this card.  And I like that I used an older (scallop border) and a newer (roses and sentiment panel) stamp to make it.

These roses remind me of a red rose bush that came with our house when we bought it.  You all know that red is not a favorite color of mine, I even prefer pastels in my flowers, so this plant has been moved many times.  It must be on its own stock, because it is still going strong!
