Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner

Using a strip of Post It Note I masked off an section of the Whisper White panel, about ⅔ up from the bottom.

Using Basic Gray ink I stamped the outline image of the rose randomly above and below the Post It strip.

I used Just Jade to ink up the in-fill stamp for the leaves and stems and Magenta Madness for the flower in-fill image. I just love the zingy, vibrancy of the pink. The flower centres were added in Bumblebee ink. The stamped panel was then mounted onto the larger piece of Flowers Fr Every Season dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Thick Whisper White card base using the same glue. I love the watercolour effect of these images, so pretty.
