Yes, it was me who MADE those little teeny tiny roses. Prima look-a-likes, without the price tag and now in WHATEVER color I should so chose. I saw a few videos on youtube, but they were using much bigger flowers. I did not have that punch, so I went through mine, and decided to see if I could make anything work. As you can see, I did *big smiles* !!
This is what I made, a little journal (about 3 X 4), and it is covered with the Beau Chateau DSP (122357 - on special this month HERE). Then I used textured vanilla for my frame after running it through the Bog Shot with one of the Designer Frames embossing folders (123130). I punched out the center with the wide oval punch. The initial "E" is embossed with vanilla ink and clear embossing powder on Marina Mist CS. I rounded the corners of both layers, to keep with the feel of the oval.
The roses were made, and I added the two branches from the Bird Builder punch (117191) and then some adhesive pearls for a little extra beauty. A perfectly Victorian gift and absolutely feminine.
AND I AM GIVING IT AWAY !!
Just leave a comment in this post, and I will randomly chose a name to receive this in the mail. The draw will be on Tuesday night. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
dainty and so pretty, you are an amazing woman! Are you going to do a tutorial?

I've been trying to see some of the tutorials you posted, but either my computer is just running too badly or there was something wrong with the links. Not sure, but was too impatient to wait any longer. Will try again later though.
