New flower - Beautiful Rose made from Cardstock
![]() |
I really wish the photo showed how it truly looks....its so much prettier in real life |
Lookie, lookie........isn't she purdy (which evidently is my maiden name by the way....not Lookie you numpties....Purdy!). I made this using the Spellbinders Rose Creation die, cutting just one of the middle sized flower cuts. This was made using 5 of the same sized flower and then one more to make the leaves. The die actually does have leaves you can cut.....but I didn't have any to hand so I just used the extra flower I had sitting and used my new distress ink (Thanks Debbi xx) to colour the cardstock.
Sadly the photos do not do this beautiful little rose any justice whatsoever......yet I'm making you look at them anyway, lol! So here are the photos.......

300gsm cream linen cardstock. Ohhhh it would look gorgeous with some stickles painted on or some glossy accent rain drops.....ohhhhh....I wanna put rain drops on it!! |

Through the magic of post editing.....the flower with rain droplets.....glossy accents |

Used Crushed Velvet Distress Ink along the edges of the cream cardstock |

Side profile.....the flower has great dimension |
This is most definitely without a doubt my most favourite paper/cardstock flower to date. I say that now, but goodness knows what I will come up with next. Regardless, its my favourite for now. AND....no doubt these roses will be found in the 6 Blog Candies I am giving away....so this is a little sneak peek of one little goodie 6 lucky people will be receiving. That's it from me for another wee while. Sorry its photos of only one flower. But as I said, I was so excited about it I had to get it on here asap! Im an excitable kinda child really......you'd never guess, would you?? lol.
Ohhhhh....not too many more sleeps now until Santa comes!! Yippeeeee!!
EDIT - If you want a tutorial, let me know below. But it wont be done until after Christmas. Its pretty similar to my other wee paper rose tutorial but slightly different so if you want a tutorial, just say, its no problem. Oh aye....I used hot glue to adhere the rose together. Toodles. Lee xx
