Step 6

Thought I would share with you how I make my hand made roses! I used 4 squares of 7cm x7cm of paper (step 1), fold diagnally 3 times, cut the open end into a cone shape and snip a tad off the bottom too (step 2). Open out and cut 1 petal off (step 3) Curl petals and glue the open end by overlapping petal (step 4), The centre is made by using 3 petals curled and rolled (step 5), Continue with this method with the other 3 squares removing an extra petal each time, don't disgard petal cut off as this is what the centre is made from. Once you have made 4 pieces use glue around the base of each layer and position inside each other, you should now have your rose complete (step6), Enjoy....

Hunkydory

This is from the Hunkydory 'All Occasion's' women collection! I distressed the background paper using Tim Holtz distressing ink pad and also the border of main image, then matted on gold mirri board and placed off centre. I added gold stripe organza ribbon along the the left edge and two hand made paper roses. I heat embossed skeleton leaves using cosmic shimmer embossing powder and finished off with large bow made using my Bowdabra tool!

Rose stamp card

This gorgeous rose stamp was stamped on yellow satin board using archival ink and clear embossing powder. I distressed a doily with Tim Holtz distressing ink and matted image on this. I made the roses and painted them using H2o paints. The skeleton leaves I heat embossed with cosmic shimmer embossing powder and finished the look with a bronze ribbon bow made with my Bowdabra!

Book card

This beautiful book card was made for me by my wonderful friend Angie MacWillson and is made out of 'toilet roll cores'! Every page is lovingly decorated with me to you papers and images and beautiful wordings. I was so overwhelmed I just had to share with you! xx

Stamping on satin board

I have been having a play with some satin board! I used archival ink to stamp my image, then clear embossing powder. Heating from underneath and the image was perfect! Tried lots of different colour satin board and inks but always used clear embossing powder over the stamped image....love it!
