Pretty Rose Tree

I made these cards a little while ago and when Glenda told us they were to be the stamp of the week on offer I checked back through my files and found them. Rose Tree is a lovely stamp set with a fab little bee on it as well as a lovely arrangement of flowers, handy for lots of occasions. These stamps are on offer for a week only and if you visit the Chocolate Baroque Design Team blog there are a few more samples there. Debbie

Rose Trees for a friend

I've coloured the trees with Alcohol pens. On the first I stamped twice and coloured. Then punched out a circle of the tree and placed over the main image.
For the second card, I punched another circle from post it notes and masked above the tree for the sun, I used Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed Distress Ink to colour.
To ground the trees I used Peeled Paint.

The Rose Tree stamp took me back to my childhood. My parents had a selection of standard rose bushes in the front garden. I remember thinking 'How do they not fall over.' I love standard roses and it seems they have gone out of fashion and you don't see many now adays.


I met a friend after Christmas, who has been crafting for many years. She told me she wasn't buying any stamps this year as she has stamps bought in the past and never used. I was telling her about the new stamps from Chocolate Baroque. Well we saw each other again a few weeks later and I wasn't surprised when she told me she had fallen in love with the stamps and bought them.

Happy crafting
