A ROSE NO LESS ~ KRAFTPLUS CHALLENGE

Good Afternoon on this bleak winters day in Australia. 
Today I would like to share a layout I created for the Challenge at Kraft plus this month, which is all about roses

The DT have created some wonderful inspiration if you pop over to the blog.
This is my take on the challenge

I've had this photo of my husband at the Botanical Gardens in Orange for awhile and wanted to scrap it, so this seemed the perfect challenge.

The challenge is to also use roses threee different ways. I have used stamps, a stencil and texture paste and lastly material and paper roses. I may have gone a little OTT , but I enjoyed the process.
I keep a A4 book that I use for left over mists/paints, ink on stamps etc. and then I use it for tags  or layouts ,here I have added it to the top and bottom of my layout.
I told my husband that he was a thorn amongst the roses, but my journalling says what I really think :)
Thank you for calling by
Love , Peace and Kindness
