Beautiful Rose...

Hello!
This month and next, I am honoured to be guest designing for Clearly Besotted Stamps. If you are a regular here, you will know how much I love this company - the owner Stephanie is kind, generous and sweet, and her stamps are always gorgeous. Many of my favourite ever stamps are Clearly Besotted. So when Stephanie asked me to design for her for February and March, I didn't hesitate in saying yes.
Today I have a card to share that I created with two different sets - the rose is from the gorgeous Sketched Blooms set, and the lovely sentiment is from the Simple Silhouettes set.
I kept my card really simple to lay emphasis on that stunning rose which I water coloured with my Winsor and Newton paints.

A few Moonshine sequins and some white thread add texture.

I love creating CAS cards like this…
Right - I'll be back tomorrow. I have Clearly Besotted cards to share every day this week. Yay!
Bye for now.
P.S. Oh, and on a side note - this month's Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine has an amazing free Clearly Besotted stamp set with it - lots of really gorgeous images and sentiments. PLUS the magazine has six of my cards published in it. :) Woo hoo. (I'll share one of the cards soon!) Head HERE to check it out! Such good value at £4.99.

Astonishing card. Simply perfect, Lucy. I hope that the USA release of Simply Cards and Papercrafts Magazine also has the CBS set. Even more hopeful that my local craft retail store carries it. It will be my first CBS stamp set. I have loved them for a long time. Cheers.
