Time Out Birthday Challenge

Time Out is celebrating their 12th birthday and I love when a good
challenge has been running as long as this one, it says a lot about the challenge
so how could I not join in.  The theme is to case the beautiful card shown,
the colors, layout or anything else you see.  If you go and visit the challenge,
you will see a beautiful variety of designs by the DT.

Here is a close up of the card to case:

I pretty much cased the layout and the flowers for my card.
I didn't add the twine, embossing, nor gold but kept it more simple.
I have a thing for Rose stencils, years ago I had the most beautiful rose garden,

so anything roses always has an appeal to me.  I purchased this Altenew

Sweet Spring stencil a few years back, sadly not available anymore.

It is only a two layer stencil so it's a little tricky as the leaves are not separate to

stencil so you will always get a bit of overlapping on colors, but it kind of

adds to it I think.  The inks I used are all Altenew, I purchased many of 

their ink cube sets of four long ago and they have
been my go to for most of my stenciling.

The colors used are Coral Bliss~Heart Beat~Vineyard Berry~

Firefly and Green Field.  I love how these inks flow from light to dark

perfect for the layered stencils.  I guess this flower might also be a peony,

either way Rose or Peony, I still love it.
