Watercolour Roses Sympathy Card

My task for this card was to use the new Tempting Turquoise Embossing Powder by Stampin' Up! (Main Catalogue, page 201, Item 122950, $5.95).  I have not painted any roses lately, so thought it would be a good time to do that ...

I used Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise Classic Reinkers to paint the roses, and added a Brights Glimmer Brad (page 199, Item 121006, $6.50) to the middle of the smaller flowers.  I wanted to use this sentiment from Petite Pairs and wanted to punch it out.  I did not have a punch that would work the way I wanted it to work, so I used the Postage Stamp Punch and punched it twice, making it a bit smaller.  I will do a tutorial on how I did this in the next few days.
