Little Bitty Pretty Ones...

I really enjoy making these little 3-1/2" x 5" cards.  It's always a challenge to see if my ideas will work, because although logic says they should go together quickly because of the smaller size, it's actually the opposite for me. And that challenge makes them fun, but admittedly a little bit frustrating at times!

This time, I used some vintage rose images from The Graphics Fairy, and added just a little bit of clear coarse glitter for fun.

This is my favorite shade of "rose" pink...it has just a hint of lavender undertones that give it a softness that a simple diluted red doesn't have.

This red one almost looks Christmas-y, doesn't it?  There's no denying that red roses command attention in nature... they might as well on a card, too...so I dyed up some nice, bright red Hug Snug for an accent!
