Happy Saturday. I have another rose project to share with you today using the McGill Paper Blossoms punches. This is the garden rose version that uses the pear shaped punches.
I followed McGill online garden rose tutorial that provides step by step photos of how to assemble the rose. There is also a great video that shows all the steps.
I used light pink cardstock for the rose petals, distressed and shaped them and then lightly sponged pink and yellow ink on them. After the rose was assembled I lightly washed the petals with a wet paint brush to blend the inks to add a depth of color. I die cut the foliage, distressed the leaves, and sponged with olive ink. I attached the Fleur De Lis layer to the card base with mounting tape and then attached the foliage and flower with Glossy Accents.
This rose looks like it was picked right off the bush. I love the bright pop of color on the all white background.
I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I sure plan to.
