Create a “WOW” card! This is an Avid Stamper’s dream card. But any stamper can learn how to assemble a simple rosette to create a striking focal point. Then embellish with die-cut flowers and leaves on a textured background using (my favorite) Summer Shadows Dies & and use the decorative masking techniques to create a richly textured background. You can tailor the card to your taste and preference. It was inspired by Debbie P. from the UK and a featured artist from Practical Publishing “craft” magazine.
I took the original card and updated the design to accommodate SU products. My design includes creating a half rosette using colorful Designer Series Paper (DSP) — both a floral and patterned DSP version. You must use 12″X12″ DSP and begin by cutting the paper 3″ x 12″ wide. You will need a scoring tool to score @ .25″ inch intervals. Start with one mountain fold and one valley fold across the length of the DSP, then fan out to create half a rosette and glue with a glue gun.
Cut a “frame” from gold/brushed metallic cardstock and use this as the pattern.
