Roses for the Inky Paws Challenge!

Good morning!  I'm popping in to share my card for this month's Inky Paws Challenge hosted by Newton's Nook Designs!  The are inspiring us with a pretty pastel color challenge this time around- I loved it!  Here is what I made:

I used the new Love Grows set again- I can't get enough of these roses!  I stamped a bunch of them onto watercolor paper and embossed them using white powder.  Then I watercolored them using my Stampin' Up! markers.  I fussy cut around them once they were dry.
I built a card base out of white paper and cut a panel of watercolor paper to fit over the front.  I stamped a few leaves, the sentiment, and some of those cute little flowers onto the card front and again embossed them with white powder.  I watercolored them and then added the blue to the background.  It's so soft and pretty in real life!  I love it
I added the roses next, letting them hang off the edges of the card.  I used foam adhesive dots to pop up some of them, too!  To finish off the look, I added a few sparkly sequins.

I had so much fun playing along with the Inky Paws Challenge this month!  Pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs blog to see what the rest of the team members created and to play along!  As always, they are giving away a gift card to the Newton's Nook Designs store to a lucky winner so give it a go! :)
