This piece is for 3 different challenges this week. The first inspiration was Theme Thursday, whose challenge was label. The second challenge was Saturday Workout, who wanted us to use skink plastic, and My Time To Craft gave us the dare to use pink and brown.I found this lovely label on The Graphics Fairy site and it inspired me to match it up with a new set of stamps from Elusive Images, the harlequin rose plate. The colours were chosen for me by the label and the MTTC theme, so I used my new Derwent pencils and my Lyra watercolours to create the rose topper and the swirly, leafy background paper - also a stamp from that plate. I sprayed it with latte, snow angel and watermelon Gimmer Mists. I printed a smaller rose on to a small piece of transluscent shrink plastic, and coloured it with Sakura Stardust pens. I made a hole in it before shrinking, and added a tiny pink ribbon, tied into a bow. The display paper is a light brown orange peel Bazill basics sheet and the whole piece is 8" square. Thanks for looking.

Absolutely gorgeous, I love this themeplate, one of Graphicus best in my opinion. So exquisite but then your cards always are. All the colours work so well together.

Beautiful card, thank you for taking part in the MTTC challenge xx
This is stunning Frankie - just love it!
This is lovely Frankie. It's amazing how one themeplate can produce such different pieces depending on who is using them and what colours are chosen!! It works for male and female cards. I love the colour scheme you used on this.
Thanks for the comment on our blog.
