Pretty Roses - Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty

   I've only made a few cards so far with the new Layers of Beauty bundle but I've found the masks/stencils really easy to use and have been very pleased so far with the results.  I used 2 challenges for this card.  The Just Us Girls challenge wants us to use stencils; easy enough with the Layers of Beauty bundle and the TGIF Challenge wants us to create a card for a friend.  I always think a nice hello card to send just because is a great way to tell your friends they are important to you.  I also used their graphic as a little of inspiration for my layout.

  I thought some classic pink roses would be a pretty start for this card so I pulled out the new In Colors Pretty in Pink and Shy Shamrock.  I started with stamping the large rose stamp on opposite corners of a Basic White thick card base in Memento Black.  Next, I used the stencils/masks and blended the 2 colors of ink in the designated spots.

  Once the flowers were colored in I took a panel of Basic white and die cut a large circle in the center and then I used the Eyelet embossing folder to give it some pretty texture.  I adhered the embossed panel over the card front then got to work on the other details.

  I used the Unbounded Love dies to die cut a little scalloped label in Pretty in Pink and stamped 'hello' from Simply Said on it in the same color ink.  I popped it up on dimensionals over some Shy Shamrock die cut leaves and a length of Shy Shamrock stitched ribbon that's hard to see but there.

  On the opposite side of the opening I added some more leaves and a little flower image that I colored in with blends markers.

  The final detail is a Pretty in Pink 2024-2026 In Color shimmer gem on the label.  

  All of the current supplies used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
