Captivating Rose

by Margaret Rogers
(Huddersfield Yorkshire)


Having bought the Spellbinders Captivating Squares Die, I came across your tutorial on you Tuesday Tutorial page of your Blog and couldn't miss the opportunity to attempt to make the card.

I used White card for creating the Hinged card, and then added a slightly smaller layer in a fairly dark dusky pink, and topping this with a smaller layer in pink patterned paper.

Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

I used the same dusky pink card to cut out sizes 3 and 4 of the Captivating Squares die, 4 times, and layered the shape into pairs, offsetting them to form a star shape, using cosmic shimmer dries clear glue to hold them together.

I then used foam squares to fasten the 2 star shapes together to create the lacy centre for the card, as you did.

With the no 3 die I cut out another layer in white and offset it to the back of the pink layer left over from the original set of die cuts, creating a white shadow effect.

I attached this layer with wet glue. then I cut out the no.2 die in white and added a little colour using Distress ink in Fired Brick before stamping my sentiment in the same colour.

Using Sue Wilsons Complete Petal Camellia dies I made the roses, colouring the shapes before forming the petals. I added a little sparkle with Diamond Stickles.

The leaves were also from Sue Wilsons Complete petals camellia dies.To complete the card I added pearls to the 4 corners. The finished card measures 6ins x 6ins.

Christina says ...

This is such a pretty card and the shade of rose pink is perfect. You should be proud of the card that you have made and anybody would be happy to get such a beauty to grace their mantleshelf

I add a new tutorial each week to my Blog Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls and I try to keep them easy to follow. You will find them all on one page and there are lots now for you to view

There are also many video tutorials on the website and you will find them in the NavBar to your left.

I hope you will enjoy them and take the time to try the ideas for yourself
