I stamped the rose 2 times because I was going to make it a corner rose cluster, but it just didn't look right. 


I used copic markers to color them. I cut the 1 out. Next, I took a heart stencil and stamped the grunge background with pink distress ink and then I blended with the same ink through the stencil. 



Lastly, I added a strip of gold glitter paper on the card, and I added the cutout rose to the top of that.
