Yellow Roses

 Our roses this summer were spectacular in June, but their subsequent bloomings  were pretty much ruined by Japanese beetles and a bright green little worm ....it was always a race to cut them before the insects started munching.  So before summer ends, here's a rose card.


supplies: white and pale gold cardstock, Taylored Expressions Garden Party embossing folder, The Greetery Sketchbook Roses clear stamps, Altenew Chamomile, Snapdragon, Firefly and Grass Field mini ink cubes, Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments clear stamp and matching die, mini adhesive foam squares

The rose spray was fussy-cut, but I love the ease of stamping these sentiments all at once and then die-cutting them with 1 die - so nice to have the extras for future projects!  And I'm really warming to the new Simon smaller and less deep adhesive foam squares.  They were just what was needed to make the sentiment stand out a bit from the rest of the card .

Hope you have a great week - thanks so much for stopping by!

I didn't think I "needed" another rose image, but now I'm not so sure :)
Simply beautiful (as usual)!

Stunning roses, Lin, and I love the embossed background too!! Thanks for the tip about the SSS thin foam squares - I used to buy this fabulous brand at a store that closed :( Couldn't find them anywhere else and the SSS ones look good!
