Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #84

I have had in my mind the idea to make a "hot pink" and black card over the last week, so tonight I made this to enter the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (#84) . (Tho I'm not sure it qualifies as I haven't put the sentiment in the right spot - kinda realised that AFTER making it!)I haven't entered any challenges besides the awesome Just Add Ink challenges for months and months but I'm so glad to be entering again!

I have a tutorial on my blog on how I made the rose - you can find it here. The 4" x 4" square has one of the Flourish's stamped all over. I also used a sponge dauber to rub Basic Black ink on the edges of the "petals" before rolling.

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Stamps: SU Congrats, Kaiser Flourishes

Thanks for coming to look! Leave a comment so I can visit you too!

What a beautiful day! Seems a waste to be inside, but then any creating is never a waste! I've had a lovely few hours tidying up my desk, watching my fav midday show "Ellen" and walah, I have a card!
I woke up this morning busting to do my very 1st "Challenge" and here it is!
