Single Rose

I was the proud recipient of some blog candy from Gina K designer, Melanie Muenchinger. I won the Stately Flowers 6 set. All her floral sets are awesome! I especially love the rose.

I used some dp I had on hand. I have been collecting dp for 15 years now and have tons. I used my new Spellbinders Card Creator Matting Basics A. The rhinestones are actually a blush pink, not white like they look.
