Orange Roses...

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. -Mark Overby
I finally stamped...I know it has been ages, I am So sorry!

I FINALLY made my card for last Friday's Blogger's Challenge, I figured I better do it before This Friday, LOL. I also used this week's Cupcake Inspiration as my jumping off point. While I was at it I layered it all up for this week's Stamp Something challenge...I think all of those challenges, plus the flowers makes it work for this week's Pile it On Spring Challenge.

I pulled out my KaiserCraft Devonshire paper, the card base is Soft Sky, but everything else is Devonshire. I layered all of papers and then cut out a rose from one sheet for the main image. The sentiment is Stampavie and I added some pearls and stickles to finish it off.

For the inside I used a scrap of the paper and a CHF sentiment...

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampavie and CHF Sentiments
Paper: KaiserCraft Devonshire, Soft Sky CS
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Misc: Pearls, Stickles

Challenges:
Stamps Something: Layers
Pile It On: Spring
Cupcake Inspiration Challenge:
