Hello and good morning!
Today sees the start of another new challenge at
Where I am lucky enough to be Guest designer for the month of August.
This week it's Trend week
It's a fun and simple technique which I urge you to try and here is a link to a tutorial by Jennifer McGuire for those of you who like me, perhaps had not heard of this idea.
Here's my card
Having stamped and embossed the flower and leaf images, I swiped them with a few distress inks...
...Spritz them with water and dried them with a heat gun before die cutting.
Of course you can just leave them to dry but I'm kind of impatient.
I love the results that you can get doing this and I hope you will give it a try.
Do head on over to the blog to see what the team have created to inspire you this week and come and join us!
Have a lovely day
~ Ros ~

Congrats on being the August guest designer! I LOVE your PRETTY card and this trend! I will come by and play along with you soon!
Congrats Ros on the GD spot, again I have to say I love your style and colours, this is a gorgeous card with the lattice cutout, must check out this technique
Your results are fabulous with those colors! Beautiful design with that lattice.
This is CAS perfection Ros! Love those flowers...the colors are GORGEOUS and they look so pretty against the white on white trellis!! Simply STUNNING card my friend! Hope you're having a great weekend!! Hugs.
I saw her do this recently and your version is really gorgeous Ros, and I love the cut out piece in WOW which doesn't detract from your beautiful flowers but looks so pretty. x
Hmmm, I like this idea! I need to check out the video, but you explained it pretty well. Wondering what I might try it with... Love your beautiful colors on the white with the pretty lattice corner. Nicely arranged and balanced. I just adore the look of it!
Fabulous card Ros...must check out the video!
Congrats on being a GD. Your card is beautiful. Love the pretty flowers and the colors you used. This is a fun technique as I have already tried it and posted my card. TFS
Oooo I really like this. The loose watercoloring looks fabulous and I like the partial lattice work behind the flowers.
I am surprised how well these earth tones go with the white background - this card is so beautiful! And congratulations on being a GD! Well deserved.
Oh, how lovely, Ros! Very pretty water colored flowers! I tried my hand at a water colored card the other day and had to trash it, lol! I need lessons from you!:). Love all the beautiful color against the white along with the wonderful die cut!
I really love the look of your technique for flowers & leaves--beautiful & artistic, Ros! You're a great GD, my friend! Thinking of you often, Greta
So beautiful - your color choices with all that white and the texture in the background are amazing! Stunning card! Thanks for joining us this month!
Your watercolored flowers beautifully pop against the white background, Ros! I saw Jennifer's video too, but I haven't tried this yet.
The die-cut in the background adds some elegant flair to the card. Hideko xx
Fantastic results here with your swiping Ros. Love the colours! Awesome die cut on the side. Another beautiful card.
Congratulations Ros on guesting x. What a beautiful card, great colour combination, fun technique and love the crispness of the white with those ever so pretty flowers x.

The colors are so vibrant, Ros, and I love the added texture the die gives.
