Roses and spikes

I made this "half-serious" card for friends' anniversary. In my opinion, the Penny Black stamp and the text stamp balance the rigid formality of the rose-patterned paper and the design quite nicely.

The stamped image is again from a swap. I coloured it in with watercolour pencils and spread the colours a bit with waterbrush. I cut the deckled edge with decorative scissors and highlighted it with pink chalk. I decorated half the card blank with rose-patterned paper and fixed the stamped image onto the card. Finally, I stamped the text on the card with Distress Ink Fired Brick. I also glued a strip of the patterned paper on the envelope (the heart sticker didn't make it in the end).
