It certainly has been a while since I made a card!
My handmade stock has gradually depleted and I have resorted to buying cards *shock Horror*. I say 'I' ... I mean John ... It would be really bad if I found time to go to the shop and buy one ... when I could probably make one in that time *LOL*
Yes I know I said no more blogging grunge roses but this is n't just a grunge rose ... it is a grunge rose on a card :0)
This rose is made from the middle flower on the Artistic Stamper Flower Power sheet and the lace is from LB Crafts ... as are the little dragonfly beads from other posts that I could n't remember where I got them. You can thank Hels for the bit of info ... she is younger and has a better memory than me!
The chipboard flowers are also Artistic Stamper.
All other stamps are Wendy Vecchi and that is Walnut Stain distress ink ... this time on white card and edged with Gold Krylon pen.
Roast Beef is calling :0)

Stunning Linda and the walnut stain against the krylon works brilliant
WOW! This rose looks like a piece of vintage gold! Beautiful:D
absolutely wonderful Linda--just love that flower
Oh my, you had to resort to buying a card? I think I have 3 boxes done,I need to start selling them! Your card is Lovely, and the rose Beatufiul, I never tire of seeing them! Someone will be very Happy to receive this one!
another lovely design Linda. I must dig out the old Krylon pens.
I bought some walnut stain years ago and I don't think I've ever used it - but seeing this effect, I may give it a try
An absolutely beautiful card Linda! I have walnut stain ink and never use it - perhaps I should. The flowers are gorgeous too.
Beautiful. How did you get that metalic effect on the rose?
Nice overall effect with your colour scheme and like the lace !!
But your grunge roses are sooooo pretty LOL
I had a little go last night and mine looked nothing like that!!!!

beautiful card has a lovely vintage feel to it. Don't wait so long before doing the next one
WOW ...love it
lovely colours.. very classy
Love the colours on this, and the sheen on the rose. Fantastic!
The card's beautiful. Reminds me of Victorian times, must be the lace. You could make these roses in your sleep I bet. Never tried one of these, are they fairly straight forward?
What's worrying me though is the fact you have roast beef speaking to you, maybe a trip to Clintons for some fresh air wouln't be so bad after all lol- these glue fumes get to us all you know lol
I could never tire of your grunge roses....that's a beautiful card.
Ooh is pretty..rose looks amazing. How I love Krylons..the gold looks just fab on the walnut.
A stunning card
Wow Linda, i dunno how you do it but always you create with such flair and style ... gorgeous
hugs June x

Totally Stunning!!!!! :-)
Hope the roast beef was good :-)
