Pretty Roses for your Handmade Cards

Layers of Beauty Bundle 163519

Roses are appropriate for so many occasions! This lovely Layers of Beauty Bundle #163519 saves you 10% for stamps, dies and masks! These cards were colored by using the MASKS, also known as stencils. The masks are numbered and have a notch to line up each layer of color. It's fun to use different color combos! What a difference color makes.

Both cards were die cut after coloring. The images can also be colored with Blends or watercoloring - whatever is your favor technique. These sweet flowers are a wonderful bundle to own.
