A Woman Who Fears the Lord

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a card using the new Graphic 45 Elegance 8x8 paper pad along with the Thinking of You Rose stamp set , dies and other supplies (from Stamp Simply )!

I love the Elegance paper by Graphic 45, don’t you?  This paper with the dark background, the Eiffel Tower/Paris images, the sewing theme as well as the pretty pink roses is perfect for my future sewing room décor.   

I was able to incorporate the Splitcoaststampers SC162 Sketch Challenge into the layout and am also linking to the Word Art Wednesday #493-#494“Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

For the background panel, trim a piece of Luxury Pearlescent Quartz White  Metallic 105# Cardstock to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”, mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim close to the edge, mount onto a piece of light pink cardstock, trim close to the edge and adhere to a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock.

Mount the entire panel onto a white card base.

Trim a piece of the Graphic 45 Elegance designer paper for the vertical background panel (approx. 3 ½” x 2 ¾”), mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Trim another piece of Elegance designer paper to approx. 1 ½” x 5”, mount onto black cardstock and trim close the edge.  Mount onto the card front and add the panel created in the above step with dimensional foam (or chipboard) per the sketch.

Trim the cut-apart from the Elegance designer paper and de-static the right-hand side of the panel with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse sentiment from the Thinking of You Rose stamp set with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

 

Layer the embossed cut-apart onto black cardstock, trim close to the edge and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam (or chipboard).

To create the rolled roses- die cut several ovals from light pink cardstock using the frames only from the Hemstitch Oval Dies.  

Using scissors, cut a wavy line from the outside edge along the oval shape toward the inside (creating a spiral- see the steps 2 thru 8 in this Rolled Flowers tutorial from Splitcoaststampers). 

Use a crimper tool to crimp the wavy spiral cut ovals before rolling them up into the rose shape.

Die cut several stems from green cardstock using the Two Sprigs  dies, cut into smaller leaves and add to the card front before adhering the rolled roses (I used hot glue for this step).

Add shimmer to the flower petals with a clear glitter pen and finish off the card with pearls.
