Hello! This post will have to be quick. My husband needs to use this computer. And...I have numerous stamping/crafting projects that I need to create this weekend. No time to spare!
I'm playing along in the
Lily Pad Cards, Virginia's View Challenge #4. The inspiration is photo is beautiful!
My take on the challenge is a wedding card for one of my Etsy customers.
This rose took several attempts, before I was satisfied with the results. I stamped the rose 3 times onto Cherry Cobbler card stock, using clear embossing power. Using the images to create 3 layers for the rose. I then swiped my Versamark pad around the edges of all 3 layers, to add some "shadow". Then curled the outer petals of each layer by gently wrapping them around a pencil, just slightly. Each layer is adhered with dimensional adhesive. Then the rose was attached using 2 layers of foam tape, to give it some extra lift. The time spent I spend "experimenting" was absolutely worth the result. I love it!
Thanks so much for taking a look!
Supplies:
card stock: cherry cobbler, garden green (SU), white (PTI)
ink: onyx black (Versafine), Versamark
stamps: fifth avenue floral, occasional quotes (SU)
other: clear embossing powder (SU), basic black satin ribbon (SU), bride's mother white trim (Offray), leaves die (Sizzix), foam tape, scor-tape
Beautiful design! I love the layers of the rose.
