Get Well Roses

This Card is for a friend who had surgery yesterday! I still dont know if she can have flowers yet so I just decided to make a card with roses! I dug out this set from my retired stash and paired it up with the new In-Color DS paper and the Top Note Die. I used watercolor paper in the shape of the top note to stamp on with Basic Brown ink and then watercolored the image using a small brush, water and the following markers: Garden Green, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Cherry Cobbler, Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand. I colored directly on little bits of shadowed parts with the darker markers and then moved the color around with the damp brush. I then went back over the rose petals with the Pink Pirouette marker directly and the same with the Pear marker on the leaves. The Lace ribbon is adhered to Pink Taffeta ribbon so the pink shows through the lace.
