My sister is getting married this year, and I thought I'd get a jump on her card. When it comes closer to the wedding, I will probably forget ... lol. I was trying to learn a new technique (it really wasn't hard) and add it to a card.
I MADE THOSE ROSES !! I took strip of CS and twisted them to get the roses, and finished them off with a adhesive pearl in the centers (which Stampin' Up! is going to carry in the NEW CATALOG ~ AHHH !!). Video Tutorial for Roses is HERE !!
My card is 5 X 5 and I used perfect plum, white and pale plum (retiring!!). I embossed the white with the Stampin' Up! Elegant Bouquet folder (#115964). I punched the pale plum strip with the Eyelet Border (#113692) and used some of the retiring mellow moss taffeta (#109069). I added my image panel ~ stems are stamped from the Fifth Avenue Floral set (#113734) ~ and did some paper piercing in the corners. I added some leaves in the bouquet and some more adhesive pearls to the centers of the embossed flowers. I stamped the sentiment (Baroque Motifs #113490) in perfect plum and I was done.
To be honest, it looks like it took a lot of time but, those roses come together REALLY FAST. I was shocked at how little time it really took to get them finished. Next time, I think I will use strips of CS of the stems instead of stamping them. Hope you like it. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
what a gorgeous card....And thank you for the tutorial... I'm going to have to give it a try. thank you for sharing your creativity...
