Cottage Roses

I have a friend who will be having surgery tomorrow. I figure she could use a little pick me up when she gets home so I managed to get this card made up in a hurry. I'm not 100% happy with how the photo turned out but the card is headed for the mail tomorrow AM so don't have time to re do the photo.
I started by stamping the new Stampendous Jumbo Cottage Rose stamp on watercolor cardstock and then I embossed the roses with gold embossing powder. I watercolored the image with my Tombow markers and a waterbrush. I then cut out a butterfly out of white vellum paper using a Sizzix die. I stamped a saying by Flourishes over the butterfly for a bit of texture using a Brillance Pearlescent Thyme ink pad. I edged the vellum butterfly with a purple Tombow marker. I used my Tombow vellum adhesive to attach the butterfly to the watercolor paper. I added my sentiment (Hero Arts) and an old star shaped brad I found at the bottom of my embellishments basket. I finished off the card by rounding all the corners and adding 3 punched out butterflies.
