Classy Cards Rambling Roses

Hello!  I'm back today with a birthday card.  I can never seem to make enough!  I'm finally getting back into the swing of a routine again now that my children are back in school and hopefully my card mojo will return!  

I haven't used many background stamps in a while and I forgot how much I love them.  For this card I used Impression Obsession's Distressed Brick Stamp with distress ink.  I adhered the brick panel to a piece of Kraft card stock with Joy Crafts Foam pads.  

I envisioned a climbing rose but wanted to put together a card that wasn't time intensive so instead of making a ton of little flowers I used this beautiful Tattered Lace Rambling Rose die.  It has so much detail and I absolutely love the leaves.  They are so delicate and lacy.  The roses and leaves were colored with distress ink.  I cut the image a second time and added the red roses on top.  You can see some of the white rose peeking through underneath since I tried to only color the leaves of the bottom layer.  It reminds me of this beautiful red and white rose I have in my garden.  Each rose on the bush is so different and stunning.

Happy Birthday was cut with Impression Obsession's Greeting die set.  It's really perfect for so many occasions.  I keep hoping they'll release a holiday words version.

Hello friends, I'm sharing a card today inspired by Cheery Lynn's Roses challenge.  I cut and and assembled the Medium Tea roses and then created everything else after.  I love the ombre elements I've seen on cards and decided to incorporate one into my card using the border die and stacking each different yellow layer lightest to darkest.

I cut the blue background layer once with the Curved Border die and then cut the patterned paper three times to get the fancy edge and the dot pattern.  The stack of Ankara Lace border's was glued to the card and then I cut the edge off the Ankara doily and tucked it under the edge of the stacked borders.  The sentiment layer was cut using the new Pierced Stacker #4 and adhered with foam tape.

I colored the the roses to match the other colors in the card using distress ink and a foam dauber.  I added some white Olive Branches and blue Add a Flourish flourishes to the floral spray and finished by adding the two butterflies from the Small Exotic Butterflies die.

Classy Cards Tea Rose

Hello, This is my inspiration card for Classy Cards 'n Such's latest One, Two, Three Challenge.  I used ONE stamp, TWO designer papers and THREE rhinestones.

I began by coloring this Sarah Kay image with Copics.  Isn't she sweet?  Stampavie isn't making stamps anymore but I was so lucky to pick up a couple of these Sarah Kay stamps at the Classy Cards store.   I used the Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles die to cut out the main image and then used it as a stencil to color around the image with distress ink.  I used Joy! Foam Pad's to pop her up for added dimension.

Next I cut the rose paper from Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic paper using a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die and layered it behind the main image. The striped paper is also from the Praire Chic paper pad and is popped higher off the blue card stock with foam pads.  The blue card stock used on the bow and background paper was colored with a Copic B12 marker to match the blue of her dress.

I cut the Impression Obsession Large Bow and popped it up with Joy! Foam pads. The rose was cut out of white cardstock, colored with distress ink and then rolled using a quilling tool from the McGill Paper Blossom Tool Kit.  I adhered the rose on top of the bow with another foam pad.

Last, I added the three little rhinestones and colored in her apron using the Wink of Stella pen.  Her apron shines.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us in the 1,2, 3 challenge for a chance to win a great prize!
