I love creating cards using Kraft cardstock!  The coneflowers are colored using white pigment ink and a waterbrush. 



The Roses stamp set includes beautiful roses and sentiments.  I love the font of the thinking of you stamp.  The rose was colored using Copic markers and then a little pointillism around the image to give it texture.  I used the clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to highlight the rose after it was colored.  The frame is the 5x7 Reflective Moment Spellbinders die.

    Gorgeous cards. The first one has such feeling from the colouring and the second is pretty with that die cut.
