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!!
Just GORGEOUS!!! Love the mini roses! :)
