All of your cards are beautiful, as usual! I am also addicted to this technique.

Wow, Patty, those are some spectacular roses - both the ones on paper and the ones in the vase! I love this time of year here in So Cal too - not too hot yet, lots of wildflowers in bloom. I have to sit down and try this technique - bet they'd be beautiful to accent a scrapbook page!!

Your roses are beautiful---cards that is.
And the roses in your garden are a joy to see. Please post more pictures. I live in New Mexico and my view of tumbleweeds and sagebrush is getting a little old :)

Thanks Patty! I too am now addicted to this technique. There really isn't a wrong way to do this - each one is unique!
My pile is not as big as yours but I'll CASE some of your layouts and actually use mine for some Mother's Day cards!

I have got to try this again. The first time was OK, but your roses make me want to try it again. Beautiful!

Your garden flowers are amazing, as are your recreated ones. Thank you for sharing your gift (and the DIRECTIONS!). It's understandable why you are so successful as an SU! demo.

Wow, this technique looks very similar to the one that Crystal French created and that Connie Ingram demonstrated at Regionals a couple of weeks ago. They called theirs the Reinker Spread Technique.
It looks almost like your real flowers!

I love all your artwork. I follow your blog, and just love the inspiraton I get from you. You are amazing!
Posted by: Brandi Weinette | May 03, 2009 at 03:14 PM
Wow, Patty. Amazing! You AND your gorgeous flowers! My customers have been requesting both your watercolored and brayered rose techniques. Thanks for the wonderful ideas you share with all of us!
HUGS!

Patty I LOVE LOVE LOVE these roses, they are SOOOO addicting! I need to place an order for more reinkers so I can do more colors!

Wow! Beautiful roses! Makes a girl jealous!! Here is Nebraska things are just coming to life, and it's slow as we've been DRY!!! It's finally green though, so that's a start!
Thanks for sharing all that you do!!

Patty, I am so in love with your Roses. They are so beautiful and the bouquets that you put together are gorgeous! I wish my roses were as beautiful, Sometimes I get 5 really pretty roses out of 3 rose bushes and then that's it. I just had to let you know that they are really beautiful!
Hugs, Dannette

Your bouquet of roses is just stunning! What fabulous inspiration. I only have 7 roses in containers on our deck because of the pesky (not what my DH would call them) deer. Only 2 even have tiny buds and we are on the mild Oregon coast. Tons of other blooming going on though.
I too have been experimenting with your technique. I tried watercolor paper, Whisper white and the Shimmery White. The W. White was the only one that did not work. I am playing with a design for my next hostess club and also using for Mother's Day cards. You really started something......thank you again....

Wow, Wow, and WOW!!! I wish I could go out and cut bouquets like that! :D AMAZING!
Your cards are gorgeous, too! There's always something wonderful to see on your blog!!!
Posted by: diane mcvey | May 03, 2009 at 09:57 PM
Oh my gosh...I can't wait to try this technique. I've absolutely loved every one of your designs. Probably some of the most beautiful cards I've seen. I love roses and these are the best! Oh when, oh when will my order arrive?!?!?!
Thank you for inspiring me once again! JC

Gorgeous, amazing, colorful . . . just like Patty's artistic talent! Hugs, Mary

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS - the stamped and the grown roses! I planted one of those trees with the yellow flowers last year. Can't wait for it to get big enough to take cuttings from so I too can use them in my bouquets. You definitely have a green thumb. TFS from your garden and your studio!
Posted by: Michelle | May 04, 2009 at 09:50 AM
Your roses in your garden are beautiful! I'm still waiting for warmer weather here.... I am enjoying your roses, maybe I will be getting this stamp set (and embossing powder and a heat gun and an aquapainter and ink refills....but need to save for it first....) Blessings! Audrey
Posted by: Audrey | May 04, 2009 at 03:18 PM
The heck with the stamps (dare I say that!!!) but can I buy the rose bushes??? What kind of roses are they? And do you have them planted against something such as a fence or your home or are they freestanding bushes?
Posted by: Lisa McConnell | May 05, 2009 at 03:32 PM
WOW, girl! These are just amazing! SUPAH Beautiful work! Hoosier Hugs, Nicole
Posted by: Nicole Anderson | May 07, 2009 at 05:13 AM
I can't wait to get my set so I can make some beautiful cards- these are awesome!
