Introducing….
Send some strength to those you care about with this touching set penned by Sam Pickard and embellished with beautiful sentiments courtesy of Dina Kowal. It's a set that's perfect for those times when a friend needs to know that you care. It features five scripted sentiments with heart warming messages as well as a group of beautifully drawn winter roses. Set measures 4" by 6".
On to my creation!
Knowing that this gorgeous bloom is a Lenten Rose, I knew I wanted to branch out and color this one in a different way. I wanted a soft green focus and gosh, there's so much inspiration when it comes to the beautiful colors. Aren't they just beautiful?
I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic White after I cut out my image using the Silhouette Cut File (which will be available Friday), I colored it up using the Copic collections listed below! I actually can't wait to color this one up in every shade above!
After I was done stamping and coloring, I matted up my image with the help of a Spellbinders die (see supply list below), some Echo Park paper and fun chevron May Arts ribbon. I added the sentiment thanks to a little sentiment flag that I created myself. And that, my friends, is it!
Ideas are blooming plentifully in our design team creations with this gorgeous set. And, while you’re hopping and looking at their creations, don’t forget to try to figure out….

How clever of you to capture the 'green hues' of the flowers themselves. When I first saw the stamp I had to Google them, they are fabulous and I think in years past I have had some in my gardens, I recognize the Lenten Rose name. Your card is picture perfect! A lucky someone will open their mailbox to it and be oh so happy! TFS!!!
Absolutely stunning Julie! I love the way you coloured this rose image in green hues, beautiful. Great new stamp set!
Good heavens, Julie, this is FABULOUS! The greens are just spectacular on this flower! Amazing card, my sweet friend!

Beautiful - I love the Lenten rose so this is a must have set for me!!
It goes to show how versatile that flower stamp is - I am hopping along seeing it colored so many ways, and it didn't occur to me that it was a lenten rose until I saw the way you colored it! Then it clicked! The lenten roses at my house are green like that! Beautiful card!
This image gives off such sweetness and the way you've presented it is wonderful.
I especially like how you colored this. Very pretty!
Absolutely stunning! I love this set and your faint green flowers are beautiful. :)
