I cut out the die using a piece of copy paper and stencilled it using Black Soot Distress Ink on to a square piece of white card and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I then used a flower stamp from a Pinkfresh set which came with a recent magazine. I stamped it using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and coloured it using some Staedtler Watercolour Brush Pens, a red and black. This is in fact the first time I have used them, and I applied the colour with the brush end and moved it around with my waterbrush. I then finished with a sentiment from the Pinkfresh set using the Nocturne ink and again heat set with the Clear Gloss EP and added this to the 6" square white card and added the flower adhering it with Pinflair Glue Gel.
Thank you for your visit today and I'll see you again soon.

This is such a lovely second entry into the challenge, Pat! I love the simplicity of the design, but there is nothing simple about your gorgeous bloom which just lights up this card!! Hugs, Darnell
What a lovely rose CAS card, Pat! I love the soft Black Soot stenciling and the pop of the red of the beautiful rose. The sparkle of the clear gloss heat-embossing must be prettier in real life. Thank you so much again for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
