Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Goodbye! We will design our cards using this theme of retiring products!

COTTAGE ROSE

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 1-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Enjoy the Moment Designer Paper was added to the front.
- The greeting from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink under the DSP.
- The floral image from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored using a Water Painter and Polished Pink, Parakeet Party and Crushed Curry Ink Refills. It was cut with the Cottage Flowers Dies.
- Some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was looped a couple times and adhered to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- The finished rose was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon.
- A trio of Adhesive Backed Milky Dots were added to the background.
