I love playing in the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge and this week the color combination was Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze.
When I saw the pink and red colors were to be used together I instantly thought it would be fun to try and create a variegated pink and red rosebud. I liked how the first one turned out so well I made two more to create a flower spray.
I punched out several 1” and 1 1/4” pink circles and distressed them with my stylus against a mouse pad to soften the cardstock to make easier to work with.
I sponged red ink lightly around on the circles to create the variegated appearance. I love the red edges and lines on the pink flower petals. They look so lifelike in person. You can see a little more closely in the next photo.
I added the blue to the project by with the tiny, tiny blue flowers placed around on the foliage to soften the spray.
You can see step by step photos in my rosebud tutorial if you would like to see how I made my rose buds.
I hope you are having a great week. Thanks for checking in today.

Absolutely stunning Kittie! Your roses are so beautiful.
Wowzers Kittie!!!!!
That is a nice colour combo and you certainly fit the bill with your rose bud creations. And the ribbon you chose is so perfect for the bouquet.
Beautiful job making the rose buds. The card
is a beauty,too.
What a beautiful rose – I’d like a dozen! Just out of curiosity, have you ever made a sub-standard card? Just asking. BTW I looked at yesterdays card again and then actually read “border” on the details – and the “light-bulb” lit up. Hope you have a wonderful day – and don’t give up on me yet o.k.
You are one talented lady!! This is gorgeous as are ALL your cards and tutorials that I just discovered!
Just Gorgeous, love the little blue flowers in there!

You always add such delight to my days. I can no longer wait until I get home from work to look at what’s new – I get up a few minutes early to check out your site. Thanks for making each day just a little extra special.

These varigated roses are amazing! So pretty! 🙂
Unbelieveable. Those teeny tiny flowers must have been difficult to do. This is such an outstanding card. Love what you have been up to these days.
