Watercolor Pencil Cottage Rose Birthday Card

Today's card features the Abigail Rose product suite. I think it is absolutely beautiful! I couldn't resist purchasing the entire product suite! 

The style of the stamps and the designer series paper reminds me of early 1900's fabric. I would love to make a quilt out of this paper pack! The color palette is a mixture of browns, vanilla, grey, and black with a hint of pale pink.

I used watercolor pencils in Flirty Flamingo, Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight to add a soft texture to the stamped rose.

I first added color to the sketch lines in the stamp to create shadows. Then I filled in each petal and leaf with less pressure to accentuate the shadow areas.

Inside the card I added a leaf image along side of a strip of the Crumb Cake floral patterned paper for an extra embellishment.

I love these brushed brass butterfly embellishments! The butterflies have a gorgeous, reflective metallic finish that pairs well with every color in the Stampin' Up! catalog. The size is great for a variety of project sizes. I really like how they are dimensional without adding too much bulk or weight to a card! They are flat on the top too, making it less likely that they will tear an envelope in the mail. The brushed brass butterflies are a winner in my book!
