Hello roses

I've been working hard at trying to find good uses for some paper and stamps I've had on hand for quite a while and I was very pleased with the outcome of what I tried yesterday afternoon.

I had a pink card base and when I was looking through a pad of flowered paper I had, I thought this rose-covered paper would be really pretty.  The black background really pops the roses off the paper.  When I added a backing of green and of creamy yellow I thought it made the roses look really pretty.  I have a set of label stamps and matching dies that I bought way back in 2015 and the small label was just right for the front so I embossed it on green cardstock and added a tiny silver "hello" sticker to the center.

For the inside of the card I used another stamp I have had since 2015.

I liked this card so much I think I am going to try some other variations with other sheets of the flowered paper pad.

Since I have used some old stamps I think I'll enter this in the Retro Rubber Stamp "anything goes" challenge for this week.

I even know just who I am going to send this card to!
