Watercolor Roses

What?  No dies!?  That's the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.  What do you do when you can't use die cuts?  Well, I watercolor.

First, I stamped the image from the Wild Roses stamp set onto Watercolor Paper using VersaMark, then heat embossed using White Embossing Powder.  I colored the roses and the leaves using the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Watercolor Pencils.  The background is a wash of Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment is from the Jar of Love stamp set and stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Then, I added it to a layer of Elegant Eggplant and added a bow made of Linen Thread. 

It's no dies were allowed at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.  For all the challenge details and to share your project, click the image below.
