Here's one I made earlier!

I was cleaning up the front end of my computer yesterday and came across this card I made a few months back using Uniko's Pure Floral Rose and it's perfect for a few challenges that are just coming to an end so I thought I would share now!

It's on the same lines as one I made using Uniko's Peony set here. The ladies at my Wednesday art group loved it and so I did a class to show them how to watercolour a stamped bloom but in the end I used the Lily set as it was simpler for them to paint. Perhaps now we have done a simple flower we may go back and try this bloom.

I used watercolours instead of inks to paint my rose which I stamped with a pale ink on mixed media paper so that the outline didn't show. The finished bloom was then fussy cut and attached to my die cut panel on which I'd stamped the greeting, a mix of Doodle Flowers and an older set, You Are, Yes You, with Memento London Fog.

The diecut panel was then added to a white top folding note card.

On another note, the garden is finally looking a little more green after the deluges of the last couple of days. However the water tank isn't as full as we thought it would be. Reason? The heavy rain washed grot off the tractor shed and blocked the newly cleaned gutters and blocked the filter so it was going straight down the overflow! Anyway the OH found out before the next set of thunderstorms arrived yesterday, so hopefully it will get topped up now all the grot has been washed away!
