National Rose Month

June is National Rose Month and I love roses.  My good friend Glenda from Glenda's Cards is hosting the challenge this week over a Bitten By The Bug 2 .  And she decided to have a challenge using a rose cut from any Cricut cartridge in honor of National Rose Month.  Because I love roses so much I definitely wanted to participate in the challenge.
The rose cut I chose is from ROCK PRINCESS.  My favorite color roses are either pale pink or yellow. So today I made  my card with a pretty yellow rose on it.  I used three different shades of yellow paper and inked the rose with pink, peach, and yellow inks.  I did a little inking on the leaves with green and yellow inks.  


The paper I used is from K&Co, DCWV. and ColorBok.  The base oval is cut from the Spellbinders  Floral Ovals Nestabilities.  The blue floral oval is cut from the Spellbinders Beaded Ovals Nestabilities.  This oval mat was inked in blue.  

The floral flourish is a beautiful cut from Cherry Lynn Designs.  It really has so many details to it.  I always enjoy using it.  I added a few little gemstones to it from The Paper Studio.  The yellow ribbon was just the perfect color for the card.  It came from Hobby Lobby.   
The sentiment is from the Scripture Sayings stamp set from K Andrew Designs.  These stamps are so wonderful and a portion of the proceeds go to charity.  

So to all of you my friends, I wish you roses this month.
Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you will be back real soon.  Have a great day!
