Happy Monday morning! I hope you had a wonderful relaxing weekend. I sure did but can I just say….brrrrrrrrrrr! It has really chilled down here in Florida and we are under freeze warnings in my area. I am not complaining as I know how very cold it gets for so many of you in other parts of the country.
Hobby Lobby has just moved into the Orlando area and I took a little shopping trip there this weekend to see what it was like. I found the McGill Rose Blossom set there on a 40% off sale and had to bring it home to try. Here is what I came up with.
I started by stamping the Morning Glory Panel image on vanilla cardstock, sponging with Antique Linen ink for aging and attaching to the card base. I sponged ink on the scalloped die background frame edges and attached to the base with mounting tape to pop it up for a little extra dimension.
This is the Floral Rose. I watched the video tutorial on the McGill site and followed the steps to make my rose using vanilla cardstock and then lightly sponged Antique Linen on the edges of the petals. I die cut two foliage sections, distressed the leaves with a stylus and mat and then attached to the scalloped frame. I finished by attaching the rose over the foliage.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.
Edited: I received several questions about how the snowflake punch is used since you don't see it on the card. Check out this step by step photo tutorial on the McGill page to see the snowflake being used as the base of the rose.
