Red roses

 It's been almost a month since my last post. But after a change of internet solution (which wasn't the smoothest), a holiday and a funeral (my Father in law) everyting is getting back to normal. A part from the weather, 30 degrees celsius isn't exactly normal, but I'm not complaining.
I treated myself to this stamp set of roses earlier this week and thought they would be suitable for the sketch over at Sunday Stamps.
I stamped the roses with red and black ink, a grey one for the script background and I also used a new set of dies to make the frame. 

This card is for: 
Sunday Stamps - #182 Sketch
The Library Challenge - The Rose Garden
Moving along with the Times - #74 June Blooms

    A beautiful card Pia, lovely contemporary roses.
    I'm so pleased to hear that things are returning to normal for you, it's 30 degrees plus here as well - I really do not cope very well with such hot temperatures!
