I'm using the great set called Corner Roses at the Fred, She Said store-it comes with 7 colors, in single images, as well as sheets and A2 cardfronts ( rose in left corner with shadow) or you can use them without the shadow as I did. The depth of the colors is fantastic! I added stickles on each one of the notecards--they were made by leaving a 1/2" tab on the side of each printout, trimming them down to a 4x4 "card" size and adhered the tab to a color coordinated cardstock for the "writing" surface and fancy cut the rose at an angle so that the color would show. Decided I needed a box to contain them so used my Crafter's Companion (a prize I got on another Blog Hop) and made one out of kraft paper and embossed yellow cardstock with a scalloped edge.
Thanks for visiting with me and hope somehow I've inspired you!
