I inked all the roses with Picked Raspberry distress ink and stamped onto mixed media paper. I wiped off the stamp and then added Mowed Lawn distress ink on the leaves and stamped again to finish the image. I used my water brush to move colours around. I added some Candied Apple and more Picked Raspberry ink to add shading Wild Honey distress ink was used to add the centers of the flowers. I thought the card looked very flat, so cut a rectangle from the center, added a white card stock backing slightly larger than the image; then popped up on foam over top of the card base.
The sentiment is a die (Happy Birthday Friendship Script from Memory Box). Die-cut from black and added Crystal Glaze over top to give some shine and dimension. Then adhered the die-cut to the center of the card.

Love that mix of magenta pink and acid green, my fave combo! The glossy sentiment works so well too. :)
It does look like a stencil and it's gorgeous! Lots of beautiful color with the scripty sentiment popping over top -- wow!
Bright and beautiful, Lolly!
Gorgeous stamped and watercolored flowers and leaves, Lolly. I especially love how you die cut the center and added a white layer to frame the center piece...Genius step my friend. Beautifully stamped and heat embossed sentiment too. TFS the close up of the shine. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Beautiful Loll, I love the way you die cut your image and the stamp really looks like a stencil.
what a gorgeous card Loll - loving the roses and how you have coloured them. The frames is the perfect addition
Stay safe

Wonderful colour combination, so striking and vibrant Loll x. The font with the scripty sentiment looks fabulous too x. A real Wow' of a card x.
Oh! I thought it's the stencil :) ! Love the bright colors you chose and the shiny sentiment! It was a great touch to raise the center part with a white mat! Love the look!
It does look like a stencil, Loll, only better. It took a lot of inking and stamping to get the shading and it looks wonderful. The "not frame" frame was a great idea. *-*
Oh Loll, a beautiful card... gorgeous colours and a fabulous stamp - love how you raised and framed the stamped image, love it, hugs Robyn
Wow! So bright and happy! Beautiful design Loll!
Your juicy colors remind you that spring is coming soon :-) I also love the raised center of the card, it adds a lot more interest to the card.
