Red roses

It's Sunday and it's time for a new bi-weekly "Stella Says Sketch" challenge over at Catch the Bug. Here's the sketch:

I used an image called rose block trio, these images don't really require any coloring but I added some red, green and yellow with my Promarkers.
The white background was embossed, the sentiment traslates "thinking of you", cut with a Sepllbinders die. Added lace bought on a trip abroad and black ribbon. It's quite a simple card really.

This card is also for:

Creative Corner - No Patterned Papers Allowed

    The coloured roses look quite dramatic against the white and the ribbon threaded lace is a wonderful finishing touch

    Elegant card. The roses are so striking, I see why you say they don't really require coloring. Thank you for always sharing what the Norwegian sentiment is!!!
