Rose Garden

Good Morning!

Today is a new challenge at the "Dies R Us" challenge blog

and our theme is "Flourishes"

I think I was in the "Spring Time" mood when I started making this card!

I bought the Rosy Rose die before Christmas, but wasn't quite sure

how I was going to "fill" in the color.

This particular die, cuts an outline of the rose, making many,many options to

choose from for color. 

I had purchased a bit of "Origami"  paper that was made in Japan with

another project in mind, but there are so many papers in the packet, that

I "snatched" one out for my Rose.  It is a tone on tone, almost see threw

paper that I thought was perfect for it.  After cutting out the die, I used 

some spray E6000 and applied to my paper (Scor-tape paper works well, too).

I then hand cut the entire piece out, it was fast and easy!

The gorgeous paper underneath is 

Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Garden paper pack.

I just love these paper packs as the prints are so pretty and dainty, 

perfect for cards!

I mounted my Rose, leaves and my flourish sprigs on a Spellbinders die

cut from the Exquisite Circles set...one of my favorite dies!

The pretty ribbon/bow, I was standing in the checkout line at Michaels and they

had their $1 ribbons close by and I just happened to see this odd color of sheer,

so I grabbed it, (along with a few others)...and I was instantly happy when it 

matched the papers and my Rose perfectly!

These are the dies I used with links to Dies R Us
