Handmade Roses

Hi Everybody,

For this card I have used a really old die that produces spiral roses,  and they are a beautiful finishing touch to my cards.

I cut these from two shades of red card and then inked the inside portion of the die cut with a darker red before I rolled it up.

Once I had it glued down I went over the petals with some gold gilding wax and that added a lovely sparkle to the blooms.

I used another old die to give me the leaves I needed and I coloured them with Brushos,  they too have the addition of gold wax.

The background paper is hand made and for that I used Candied Apple and Gathered Twigs and then splattered the paper with gold paint.

I added a gold leaf sprig  from the Rose Flourishes die set to the display and I am really pleased with the look of this card.

Making your own flowers can save a lot of money as the shop bought ones can work out quite costly and there are many many videos on YouTube on how to make them from myself and other creators.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

 

Spiral Rose

It is no secret that I like to add flowers to my cards and this Spiral Rose  is one of the easiest ways to create them. At the moment it is half price on the Craft Stash website. 

You can make them as small or as large as you like by simply adding more spirals to the flower.

This top picture has used the spiral rose with the plain edges and the bottom one has used the scalloped edge die for a fancier look.

Spiral Rose Maker

 Hi Everybody,   

Todays cards is using the Card Making Magic Spiral Rose Die Set and for this I have used some flower paper that is not too thick 

The background has been embossed in the Perfect Rose folder and I have added a gold frame to the top.

The fame has been cut several times in white and layered together with the gold layer on the top. This creates a lovely enhancement for the flowers.

Any sentiment could be added to this design and you could use a butterfly from any die set that you have in your own collections.

The card size is  5x7 and this is my favourite size to make as I can get lots onto the front or inside of my card and not feel restricted by space. 

More tomorrow ...
