Smooched roses

 Hi all!  I can't believe how much Autumn has arrived!  The evenings are so dark already and I had my cosy coat on for our walk this evening.  Nice to get home and put the heat on ... though the way prices are on the hike I might soon be putting on an extra sweater instead!!

Anyway I've a wee floral card this evening.  I smooched (?) my background using some watercolours via a piece of acetate and then added some extra splatters.  My roses is an oldie from Clearly Besotted but it rarely gets an inking - I think because I colour each of those little petals individually and there's no joy in it! 


As you like it - round corners or straight edges - I'm definitely a straight edge type girl, but one of these days I'm going to make a circular card and surprise myself ;)

Pixies Snippets Playground challenge #412 - this strip of purple has been knocking round my table for a couple of weeks so it was good to get it used up

Very pretty, Lynne! Love the pretty flowers, and your background is amazing! This stamp needs to see ink more often! Hugs…

Pretty! Your flowers look like ranunculus blooms. I think I'd struggle to color them, too. I'm not much good at coloring, so it has to be pretty quick and easy for me to do it at all. We've turned really cool here, too. It's quite a change from the hot summer weather we had just a few weeks ago. I'm not looking forward to ice and snow, that's for sure!

And again Lynne, a real stunner of a card! You ought to be on a design team - if I had a DT for the Playground I'd snap you up like a shot! However, running a DT is a bit like herding cats so I mostly fly solo as you know.

I did giggle at smooched - I have a feeling it should be smooshed - but like your version better. Gosh it's cold here today, I can see me wanting the fire on in the lounge before too long! Just a switch and press to ignite the flames you understand but always a welcome sight!

Many thanks for coming to have a play in the Snippets Playground.

Hugs
