Briar Rose (by Veronica)

for my second post this month i have variations using the briar rose stamp, and back to my favourite brusho powders - sorry!
The first is very simple, stamped with versamark and embossed in white before sprinkling the brusho is roughly appropriate places before spritzing with water.
Base card blank was randomly stamped with the roses using pale inks from an ancient set of mini ink pads, with the pink smudged round the edges.








for the second version the image was stmaped in grey versafine ink and coloured with watercolour pencils to get a misty effect. the butterflies were stmaped with black versafine onto scraps of spare brusho-ed card, cut out and glued over the original images.
i used a foliage image from honeysuckle butterfly to stamp randomly onto the base card in two shades of green ink to create the background.








My final card uses foliage stamps from both sets to create the wreath, very easy to do if you have a stamp press.Butterflies from both sets were stamped onto the wreatjh, then again onto spare card.
The spare inages were coloured with marker pens, the wings cut out and glued into place.
the sentiment is from loving sentiments
