I came up with a subtle color combo with these two stamp sets and added my own spin to it.
Just follow the instructions about stamping these roses, you will yield to gorgeous result.
My stamping on this Winter Rose card was not exactly precise and perfect...which is why that it is awesome. The stamp set is just very... forgiving, you know what I mean?
I used two of the roses in this stamped design. After stamping, I realized that it needed "something".

Inline Alpha Die Set
Those tiny silver dots and the sentiment "hi" are from foiling.
I used the alphabet negative die as my stencil and covered the area with my foil pen.
I love the shine that the foiling gives. Altenew stencils are also the BEST!
