You have until Tuesday, November 25, 11:55 p.m. PST (GMT -800) to comment here and on my fellow designers' posts for a chance to win. Winners will be announced on the STAMPlorations blog on Friday, November 28.

Today, we're putting the spotlight on Rosebuds, the stamp set designed by Shirley Bampton. We'll be picking one commenter to win this set so leave a comment here and on the rest of the STAMPlorations girls' posts for a chance to win the set.

And here's my project... I have made quite a few cards using this set and it is so fabulous that I ended up creating two :) My first card is more bold in colors. All I did was some random stamping of the single rosebud and coloring, sentiment was added on a circle with some gold twine behind it.
My second card is more soft and subtle. I stamped the rose bouquet, inked the background in Distress Antique linen and did a generation stamping of the definition stamp to build the BG, colored the roses with markers and to draw attention towards the focal image, I added a vellum oval die cut.
*** The stops in the hop***

    Oh man, you know just what to give a stamp set some versatility! Love the backgrounds you've created on both of these cards and the soft, buttery yellow of that second card just gets me. Awesome use of that set!

    Both cards are awesome. I love the background with the single rose. But I also really love the bouquet against the backdrop of the text. Two very different yet equally stunning cards!

    Well, after all the inspiration you ladies give to me, I just might change my mind and get some rose buds ;) Both cards look great and the extras (vellum, twine) make the rose bud proud to be there and be the star on the card.
