Rose Garden- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning

It's time for another fun theme at 

The Flower Challenge

This month we are challenging you to create a card using this simple sketch.

Please be sure to check out all the great cards created by our DT's.

So onto my card.

I had a piece of Alcohol inked Yupo that I thought would make for some beautiful roses so I die-cut the roses with some heavy white cardstock first then cut again with the inked Yupo.  I carefully glued the die-cut pieces back into the white outline and set them aside.  (I should mention that I did modify the die by cutting it down a bit before adding it to my card.)

Using my Grid embossing folder, I embossed the long panel of the sketch you see to the left side.  Since I was leaving my card white, I wanted to add as much texture and interest as possible. 

Next, I die-cut the Swirl Square twice and glued them to another piece of cs to use as the smaller piece on the sketch.  I love how they look.

I then glued it all together as per the sketch, pop dotted the roses and added some little pearls as the finishing touch.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
