Shabby chic, vintage rose


This was for my sisters friends birthday

this stamp was a gift many many years ago and was by elusive images ive seen the same stamp on chocolate baroques site i'm not sure if they used to be elusive images or if they now have the rights to make these stamps.

I layered gold mirri with a pearlescent pink pastel card i think came in a pack from c&c the rose paper is from First Edition 6x6 rose garden paper pad. I love their paper pads you get some that are textured, embossed and pearlised. my sister gave me this and the 12x12 pad for xmas!

Ive stamped the rose with memento ink knowing i was going to be using promarkers i think this is the best ink to use. i distressed the edges with tim holtz distress ink vintage photo and a little brushed corduroy, i did the same to the sentiment before cutting them out and using a corner punch and mounting onto gold mirri the ribbons and cameo are from my stash and i love the cream and latte colours.

I put a contrasting paper inside for the insert with a verse and i 3rd generation stamped the rose on te left hand side, just to give it a more proffessional look.

When i started this card i didnt really have a design or idea in mind i just did it!! the ccard i atamped the rose on was from my stash and to be honest its not my normal colouring card so i thought it looked rubbish and i was even going to stamp it again. well it turned out a lot nicer than i thought and my sisters friend loved it
