How could I resist an "anything goes" challenge? Play along and get to use whatever techniques I want...you bet. I've had the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (by Stampin' Up!) sitting on my craft table for a week, because I wanted to use it. I was just looking for the right opportunity. And...this was it!
This is the challenge at The Paper Players - Challenge #49, Anything Goes
Also...I have found so many inspiration photos on Pinterest. Gorgeous photos! I took the colors for my card from this photo on Pinterest.
There are SO many fun paper crafting techniques. But, I have to admit, heat embossing and dry embossing are still two of my favorites. And...I've recently discovered how much I enjoy fussy cutting or paper piecing. For some reason it relaxes me, and that's something I didn't expect. Who would've thought?
Anyway, I've incorporated all 3 techniques into this card.
I am really pleased with the results :o) I stamped several images for each rose, then cut them into 3 layers and used dimensional adhesive to assemble them. Oh, before I adhered them I used a SU marker to add a little extra color to the edge of each petal.
Supplies:
Stamp: fifth avenue floral (SU)
Stamp: fifth avenue floral (SU)
Card stock: perfect plum, pale plum, blushing bride, always artichoke, very vanilla (SU)
Ink: perfect plum, pale plum, elegant eggplant (SU)
Embossing folder (Cuttlebug), lace trim (Offray), antique brad (SU), winter white embossing powder (SU)
Oh Susie! This is so pretty! I love the embossing and the way you cut out the pieces to highlight them! Happy you joined us this week at the Paper Players!
