TUIC Challenge - Favorite Flower

I am hosting a challenge for the members of the Tangled Up in Creativity blog group this week. I am asking that each member of the group creates a one layer, clean and simple card using their favorite spring flower. Most of you who know my style, know that I love to create with just paper and ink more than anything else!

It is also no secret that the rose is my favorite flower. For my design I started with a Versamark resist background using Hello, Doily by Stampin' Up and sponged over with SU Pink Pirouette on Pure Luxury White paper by Gina K. Designs. I then added the KSS rose bud stamped in SU Regal Rose, Ruby Red, Lucky Limeade, and Old Olive. And to finish my card, I added a sweet sentiment from Be Encouraged by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.

Let me see your favorite!!
