A Single Rose

Hi  Bloggers.

Today I'm on the Toolshed Show on Create & Craft 12noon till 2pm with Lottie. I'll be demonstrating some of my favourite Spellbinders dies from the January release this year.

Here's a card that I shall probably demo today -

For the background I ran the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then edged with Shell Pink Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut a strip of Coconut White Card, laid the Elegance Border Mask over it and inked through with Shell Pink. I cut a border using the Persian Accents die set and inked through the die with Shell Pink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Garden Sayings Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Floral Ovals and inked through the die with Shell Pink. I cut the largest of the Floral ovals out of white card and at the emboss stage I added the Small Polka Dots Mask. I inked through the die with Shell Pink. I cut the largest of the Romantic Rectangles out of white card and this time I added the Delicate Mask at the emboss stage. Again, I inked through the die with Shell Pink.

I made a flower using Spiral Blossom 3. I inked through the die with Shell Pink and all over the back of the card prior to folding. I cut a couple of leaves out of white card using the Bitty Blossoms die set and inked through the die again with Shell Pink (there's a lot of that!).

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Rose Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon. I added a Medium Square Dazzler to the centre and a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

I hadn't the right colour pink for a mat so I edged some white card with Shell Pink instead and added some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White Pearl around the edges. I finished the card of with some Pearl Swirls.

This card can be made in any colour - just change the ink pad and the ribbon.

Hope you can join me later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
