A reminder

There is a reminder for the challenge over at The library craft challenge where I'm a guest librarian.

This is the card I made for that

I first pricked the roses, then made a watery solution of pink ink which I painted into each rose. When that was dry I did the stitching and layered up the rest of the card.
