  3. Sooooo beautiful. I’m happy you showed us the big pile you created–it is such eye candy. I’m going to refill with coffee and come back to stare some more…

  5. 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!!

  6. 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 🙂

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  13. 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

  14. 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….

  15. Wow, Wow, and WOW!!! I wish I could go out and cut bouquets like that! 😀 AMAZING!
    Your cards are gorgeous, too! There’s always something wonderful to see on your blog!!!

  16. 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

  17. 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!

  18. 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

  19. 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?
