Roses for Someone Special

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I have stamped and heat embossed this NBUS stamp in white on pink cardstock 
and colored the roses with Copic Markers keeping with
monochromatic colors.

Then I thought maybe I should add some clear gems.


I'm not sure I like it better with the gems or without.
They're on there now though so they'll have to stay.


Challenges:
NBUS #34 - Never Before Used Schtuff


 


Card Recipe
Stamps:  Paint A Flower (PAF) Rosa Floribunda (Alt), Thinking of You (Alt)
Ink:   VersaMark
Paper:   Petal Pink, Merry Merlot (SU)
Other:  White EP, Copic Sketch Markers (R81, R30, R000, R0000, R37, E17), Caran d'ache Supracolor Pencil (Dk Carmine), Sparkling Crystals (SK)


Enjoy!

A definite WOW factor! What a gorgeous card, Bonnie! This should go to someone special. The white embossed image is perfect for the monochromatic look. Fabulous Copic work too!

Pat said...

The roses are so beautiful Bonnie and I love the look of them on the pretty pink card and colour in pink and the complementary brown for the leaves and also the matted layer and sentiment. I think the clear gems are a great finishing touch...such an elegant look! x

Oh so pretty in pink! Your Copic coloring is gorgeous… it looked like it was watercolored.

A beautiful card Bonnie, and to be honest, I think I prefer it without the gems.
Stay safe

I love it both with and without the gems. Gorgeous shades of pink and what a great idea to stamp on to pink cs!

WOW this is a stunning monochromatic card Bonnie. Fabulous colouring and I love the pink cardstock too x. With or without the gems it is amazing x.

This is such a beautiful card! The contrast of the 2 colors with a soft color highlighted with a strong color. Plus stamping in white. Any flower lover would love getting this card.

Bonnie your monochromatic coloring/shading on these roses is so gorgeous, I don't think it needed anything to distract from that!
I've taken more than my fair share of 'before & after/bling' photos! It does feel wrong not to use those fabulous crystals, doesn't it?
Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge!

Gorgeous, love the coloring on the colored cardstock!

This is just stunning, Bonnie! You should frame it as a work of art!

Brenda in IN said...

I don't know how you got that water color look with Copics but it is stunning. I want to reach out and touch those roses to feel how soft they are. Just gorgeous.

Barb Ghig said...

Really beautiful Copic coloring, Bonnie! You've added so much dimension to the flower petals and I think the gems are very pretty! Another gorgeous card! xx

Marcia Hill said...

WOW!! Your roses are absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie and the Copic coloring is perfection! And I like the gemstones...a little bling is always good! Hugs. :0)

TaeEun said...

Wow! It's a beautiful monochromatic design, Bonnie! Love the soft and slightly dusty pink and the brown leaves are gorgeous!

Vicky Hayes said...

Such a dreamy card with or without the gems Bonnie! Gorgeous! Vicky x

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, so beautiful, Bonnie! The gems look like dew drops and I love it either way. Fabulous blending with the Copics on pink. I don't even think "monochromatic" when I see it. It's just lovely!

Papercraft Boutique said...

Wow, this is such an elegant and beautiful monochromatic rose card, Bonnie! I thought you watercolored the image until I read your blog. Amazing Copics coloring! Merry Merlot adds a perfect definition to the card.

Beautiful! I too thought it was water colored, especially since I thought heat embossing and copics don't like each other -- for this... fantastic!

Bobby said...

Your roses are gorgeous, Bonnie. The Copic colors worked well on the pink cardstock to highlight and shade. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.

Your roses are just beautiful and I love the monotone look xx

I like the card with and without germs. The coloring of the roses is wonderful. It looks great in pink.

Another stunning card, Bonnie. Your color selection is wonderful. I love shades of pink and a lovely cold brown for the leaves.
Both versions are beautiful, but I have the impression that the shiny stones perfectly complement such an elegant card
