Floral Love Card!

This time a simple card with just diecuts.

This Memory box Sonora Rose die is a win from DCAM challenge and, took it from India home and was waiting to give a shot.

Its just a single rose die with 2 leaves of various sizes and with buds. I Diecut, embossed and colored the roses using Worn Lipstick, Tattered rose and Mustard seed DIs. And for leaves and buds, used Peeled paint  and at edges Gathered twigs DIs.

Just popped these on a doily using foam dots to give 3 D effects to roses. To make the small rose, i just cut the outer whorls of the rose and distressed with Mustard Seed DI

Sentiment is stamped, edges were rounded and few pink pearls as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like this.

Valentine Card

~ Sathya ~ 45 Comments
A valentine card for the valentine month. Just 4 days away for my Wedding Anniversary and so this quick card with roses again 🙂

Made an easel card with roses and fluorishes. The card front has a pale pink pp whose edges are distressed and on it matted another red digi freebie. The lattice is made from tessatina border die and its added to the circle die and made as a focal point.

Cheery lynn gardenia strip die is used to make roses and tropical florishes diecuts are added in different tones. Red florish diecut and paper pieced butterfly are from DCWV Mariposa collection.

MS double arches border punch is used to create a lace with the same pink pp from Zephyr paper pad and added just below the focal lattice.

Sentiment is stamped on the venetian label diecut and placed on a pp from Simple stories paperpad and this acts as a stopper showcasing the roses on card front 🙂 Few pearls for final touch.

Hope you like it !!
