Yellow Roses

Of all the beautiful roses in the world, my favourites are the yellow ones.  Yellow roses are a symbol of friendship so I thought it apt to use them on a card for a friend.

 

I began by printing the digital image onto watercolour paper and then colouring it with distress inks.  Since I used my ink jet printer I thought the outline would disappear as I coloured, but much to my surprise it didn't move at all.

After the image dried I carefully cut it all out and used foam tape to secure it over some pretty die cuts.  I printed one of the matching sentiments and used a large punch to punch out my tag.
