One Layer Set...

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -ZiggyI needed to get my Grandma's gift ready and wrapped quickly this weekend so I could put it in the box my Mom was shipping. I sat down with my Waltzing Mouse Roses in Bloom set and the last of my White DCWV Textured card and went to work. I Really wish I had the Frame It set, but I had to wing it. I stamped the roses and the sentiments, then I put my large-ish clear block over it and drew around it with a Micron Black Pen. I did it backwards...should have done the frame first, because, as you can tell, some of my sentiments are not in the frame portion. Ce la Vie! This is handmade, nothing is perfect, right?

I needed lots of subtle color choices, so you can see below I found some fun inspiration challenges to help me out!
