Days of Wine & Roses

Hello friends!  Tuesday video day again and I will be showing you how to make one of the styles of flowers you can do using the Classic Rose die.  These are very easy and a really pretty addition to any handmade card too.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel by clicking on the link on the right hand side of my blog.  That takes you right to the channel and you just need to click "subscribe" in the right hand corner.  You will automatically be notified when I add new videos to the channel.  There is a second card for you to see today as well so don't forget to scroll down to have a look!

Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.

A card from the Belle of the Ball  stamp set by Creative Expressions for the second card today.  I started by letterpressing the background using the Embossibility folder called Ornamental Iron.  I inked the folder with Antique Linen distress ink and embossed it onto my milk coloured card.  I stamped the border twice from the set in black on to milk card.  I added a thin black mat to them and mounted them diagonally across the corners of the card.  I stamped the dress in black and embossed it in clear and cut it out by hand.  Using an Antique Linen distress marker, I added some detail to the dress then mounted it on foam and placed it on the background.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with Decorative Labels Eight and inked it with Antique Linen.  Using the Vintage Florets, I made several small flowers to use around the sentiment tag.  I mounted the entire piece on a wide black mat and added Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue dots to the edge.  A milk mat layer with piercing holes surrounds it and then a final solid milk mat.  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
