throwback thursday - ruby rose...

Morning!  Welcome August, huh?  I love this month because it means Fall is cruising closer :).  My card today was created for Papertrey Ink for their Throwback Thursday feature and this week we're revisiting the beloved Ruby Rose stamp set and dies.

I used the Shape Shifters:  Square 2 die to create my focal point, where I stamped my sentiment and attached my Ruby Rose blooms.  I LOVE the mixed fonts and flourishes used in this set for the sentiments....dressed up the simple flowers so beautifully!  I also used leaf images from the Sunflower Harvest stamp set.  

I stamped in Aqua Mist, Pale Peony, Lilac Grace, Spring Rain, Spring Moss, Mint Julep. Sweet Blush, Summer Sunrise, and Harvest Gold ink.  I thought the sentiment was so beautiful, I stamped it across my card base as well, using Aqua Mist ink, and love the fun background it created.  

There's more to see on the Papertrey Ink blog!  Thanks so much for visiting.  Enjoy your day.

Melissa, your card is SO beautiful! I will be ordering a Misti this weekend, which I will only use for 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards, do you think the mini-misti will work well for me?

This IS GORGEOUS, Melissa! I TOO LOVE that sentiment! I wouldn't normally go for the flowers in the set, as I prefer "realistic" looking florals! But, that sentiment is GORGEOUS!!! AND OF COURSE, YOU have made these florals JUST AS GORGEOUS with your magical touch!!! A STUNNING GORGEOUS CARD, Melissa!!! ;)

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I’m loving this as usual! I so look forward to every one of your posts. You definitely have a style and I. can almost always pick out your cards. I wish I had a style, lol! I’m just a recreator. So you keep on making the originals, I’ll copy everything and give you all the credit! Blessings to you.

Such a beautiful use of this stamp set, which I own, ut somehow overlooked the flower that coordinates with the A3 die.
