Anniversary roses

Hello again folks.  You may have noticed that my blog post for last Thursday  was missing.  That is because I have a completely rubbish memory and forgot to set the scheduler!!  So instead you get a bonus Sunday post :)

Anyway the card I should have posted was for the 48th wedding anniversary of my Dad's brother Terry and his wife, Sheila.  This uses the opposite die cut of the card I posted last week (a stripey anniversary)

To recap, the sentiment is made using strips of coloured card attached to a sheet of double sided adhesive.  This was then stamped and die cut to create the sentiment.

I used Clearly Besotted's Round Roses set to decorate a white panel from which I die cut the same sentiment and inlaid the striped piece.  I then added some Wink of Stella to the flowers and a few sequins to embellish.

This was a fun card to make and I hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

Aniversary Roses

For my daughter and son-in-law's wedding anniversary last week, I dug out a lovely stamp set I've not used before.  This is Round Roses from Clearly Besotted.  We've had it a while but I just never got around to using it.  

I used three inks from Altenew - Rouge, Crimson and Velvet - these are fabulous dye inks and I love the colours together.

I used New Sprout and Northern Pine for the leaves then the same red combo for the single petals.  These are actually the flame from a birthday candle set!

The sentiment is also from the Round Roses set.  I backed my panel with red card then added some polka dot paper to finish.

I think this is another easily repeatable card which I should add to the stocks.  What do you think?

Round roses

Good morning all, I hope you had a good weekend. We didn't do a lot this weekend, but we did go out with the dogs for a bit yesterday and did a couple of miles on the Trans-Pennine Trail again, which was really nice.

Today's card was made for a lovely friend who had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. It gave me the chance to try out one of the new sets that we got from Clearly Besotted. This one is called Round Roses.

This set may only be small but it makes beautiful images, and as it has three different sized roses it is very versatile.

I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks for the roses, and stamped them on a piece of white card in a random fashion. The ink colours I used are Blush, Rouge, Crimson and Velvet.

Then I stamped around and between the roses with the leaf stamps using Memento inks, in New Sprout, Pistachio and Olive Grove.

I cut the panel down to fit a 7 x 5 card base and then cut two stitched hillside borders, one white and one black. These are from the Mama Elephant Stitched Border Trio set. I layered the white over the black and then backed the whole panel with black card before stamping a simple sentiment.

Then I added three sticky enamel hearts to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
