The sketch, exclusive to The Pixie Cottage this week, is:

This week I chose to use the beautiful "Simply the Best" stamp by the fabulous arTish! I love this rose, it has so many beautiful petals and was a blast to color.
I used Tombow markers and an Aqua Painter to color the rose. The paper is K&Company and Bazzil cardstock. I finally had the chance to use some of the Prima ribbon I bought at Michelles Scrapbooking and more!
Make sure to visit The Pixie Cottage Blog so you can look at the rest of the beautiful DT cards!
