Enjoy Your Day

Hello there everyone!  I can't seem to get enough of these roses from the Justrite set called Rose Bouquet.  Here I have selected some decorative paper from my stash (I think it is Graphic 45) and covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet and then micro beaded it for texture.  I wrapped a piece of black seam binding around it and taped the ends to the back.  I tied a messy bow and seated it at the bottom of the card with some twine and a black crystal sparkler.  For the focal element, I used the outer cutting dies from the Spanish Collection die called Seville to cut a frame out of milk card.  I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it for dimension.  I used the larger die from the frame and cut a flat label shape with it and then used the Floral Brocade Pinpoint embossing folder to emboss the die cut.  I mounted my frame over it and seated it in the middle of my card.  I stamped my sentiment in black and cut it out with the California Collection Decorative Frames Set B. Using Tattered Rose distress ink, I lightly inked the sentiment before removing it from the die.   I added two oval cut mats behind it before adding it to the middle of my card. I stamped the roses and cut them out by hand, taking only some of the leaves with them.  I coloured them with Distress markers and added some foam to the back after shaping them with a ball stylus and foam mat.  I added them to the upper corner of my frame and cut a small black butterfly to add to the other side of the frame.  I finished the card with a pierced milk mat, a thin black mat and a final milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
