Vintage Rose

Hello, lovely blogger friends.

I hope you are well.

I'm here today to share a commissioned card. A 100th Birthday card. Wow!!! I was so honoured to be asked to make this card. I searched high and low through my stamp collection to find something suitable to colour for the occasion.

I have many cling stamps that were freebies in Simply Cards & Papercraft and the one that I found is a beautiful rose from issue 133.

I chose browns & whites for this card.

I hope you like it?

The rose is from Clearly Besotted Stamps.

The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Neenah cardstock and cut out using a CartUs oval. I have coloured the rose with Polychromos pencil Col: Nougat and matted the image onto a Joy Crafts Noor oval.

For the shape of the card I used GoKreate XXL frilly frame #5 and Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics papers.

Other dies used are Marianne Design Anja's Vintage decoration and clock. La La Land cherry blossom branches, Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tag, Memory Box classic numbers and Cheery Lynn French pastry doily.

I inked the die cuts with Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink.

Here is a list of all the gorgeous embellishments from The Ribbon Girl online store that I used on my card. Just click on the links below to take you to the products.

Here is a couple of close up's of my arrangements.

The gorgeous cherub is one I have made using a silicone mould and Martha Stewart crafter's clay.

The oval frame is from The Works. I painted it with white Gesso and adhered 3mm white s/a pearls around the outside.

I surrounded the rose with Frantage shabby white embossing enamel and 3mm white s/a pearls.
