Roses are Red.........

Good afternoon everyone, yesterday we had cloud all day not happy at that, but woke up this morning its glorious sunshine woohoo. Unfortunately have not been unable to enjoy it yet as the dreaded h.......k got in the way so too compensate for that I took some short breaks in between and made a card..... like you would lol.
The last few weeks I have been playing with the cd`s for Jem`s Designs and making samples for their up and coming shows, no I cannot show you them... yet..., so I thought I would brush the dust off my Promarkers which have been sorely neglected tut tut I hear you all say lol.
Then I had to choose what image I was going to use, after a lot of time spent last evening looking at stamps and images, I finally decided to use one of my own digi`s... Rose. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed colouring in.  I still need loads of practise.
To set the image off I used black card for the base and stamped and clear embossed it.
The spine of the card has also a different look called Braided Card technique which I found on Pinterest and just had to have a go, you can find it here. Yes it is so easy.
I also used Spellbinders Timeless rectangles and ribbon from my stash. I shall add a sentiment when I know what it will be for.

Thank you all for popping by......
