And here's what I came up with...
I know, I know...I used more gray than black, but I just really love the way this one turned out, and gray is a hue of black, so I'm calling it good! I used SSS's Elegant Rose stencil with PFS's shades of yellow ink and gray for the leaves. I cut off the bottom 3rd of the panel with The Greetery's Snowhill Dies and then attached with foam to a background that I stamped with SSS's Nature in Bloom background stamp.
I finished with a strip sentiment (white embossed on black) from Gina K's All At Once Greetings and a few clear gems from PFS.

This is just lovely, Marcia! Reminds me of the yellow knock out roses I have blooming in my backyard right now. Love what the little dots and text along the bottom add to the design!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite color combos. This is fabulous. Love the cut off with the text below and the white embossed sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The. color combo is great, and yes, grey is a hue of black -- so win, win!
ReplyDeleteMarcia your rose is stunning in yellow and I love your black stems. So fun the way you added the text to the bottom and the stitch marks! So fabulous my friend! xo
ReplyDeleteOkay, you MUST KNOW that I'm not one bit mad about your use of gray, right? Ha! IT IS PERFECTION, Marcia!! [I might need to stamp a few panels of the SSS bg stamp!]
ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty!

OMGosh, this is so incredibly gorgeous! Yellow roses are my favorite. The curved lower edge and text stamp add a whole lot of extra beauty to your card. Really lovely use of these colors, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning, Marcia! What a gorgeous yellow rose, which looks fantastic with the leaves done in gray/black. I especially like the text on the bottom. Such a beautiful card using these colors.
ReplyDeleteYour rose is BEAUTIFUL, Marcia! You inspire me to keep trying with the stencils but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get such a crisp and detailed result! The shading is perfect too! Awesome card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous yellow rose, Marcia. I may need to check out those inks. I want a softer yellow ink. I love the design with the cut panel and background stamp. Beautiful card, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYour big yellow rose is gorgeous Marcia. Love how you die cut the bottom and added the text background and the stitch design. Great design my friend.
ReplyDeleteThese stenciled roses do look so lovely with the shades of yellow and the gray leaves Marcia! love the cut out and text at the bottom too - a great design! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Marcia. I love that rose, but the addition of the words on the background stamp kicks it up a notch as does that bit of piercing at the bottom of the rose. Such a beautiful pairing of colors and you used it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI agree Marcia, grey is definitely a shade of black so it works perfectly with that fab stencilled soft yellow rose. The touch of detail along the bottom edge lifts the whole design. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, my friend. I LOVE how you've used the challenge colours! xx
ReplyDeleteThe stenciled rose looks amazing Marcia! I really like the text showing beneath the stenciled panel, it's a wonderful design. Plenty of black with the text and the sentiment, : - ) So, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful rose, Marcia. I need to get this stencil back out and play with it again. I also love the way you put the text panel at the bottom. Wonderful and so creative. I think the colors are well balanced.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, your yellow rose and grey hue of black make for an eye-catching, lovely combination. The cut section featuring the text adds a special touch, as does the stitching. Gorgeous card, indeed!
