My Project

I used the Cottage Rose stamp set, Abigail Rose Designer Series Papers and Framed Florets Dies to create this pretty floral card.

Instructions

The Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper mixes some outline images as well as pretty patterned papers. I wanted to take one of the outline images and add some colour to it, so I picked up my Old Olive watercolor pencils.

Once I had coloured in my paper, I wrapped some Natural Finish ribbon around it and added it to a Sahara Sand card base.

Using the Framed Floret Dies, I cut an Old Olive outer frame and a Sahara Sand inner frame. The rose image was stamped onto the Sahara Sand oval and was coloured with the watercolor pencils. The frames were stuck to the card front.

I used the Double Oval punch to create my sentiment panel in Old Olive and Sahara Sand. That was added with dimensionals and a double bow of Linen Thread tucked under the bottom edge.

To finish a flutter of Brass Butterflies were added around the floral image. I love that “flutter” is a collective noun for butterflies.
