Materials used:
Aurora Wings - Rose Corner #2
acrylic small words stamps
tuxedo black memento ink pad
Docrafts Vintage Notes Dies - Doily
circle die set
Tonic embossing folder - Amelia
red gloss coated tissue paper
silver fibre fabric (it was my place mat at a wedding a few years back)
silver mirri card
Copic pens
stamping card
15cm square white card blank
Method:
I took my already coloured image and die cut it with a circle die and stamped the sentiment onto it. I also die cut a slightly bigger circle from the silver fibre fabric (actually the die didn't cut it but it did leave a line to follow with scissors) and a doily from the red tissue. I used the embossing folder to emboss a sheet of silver mirri card.
I ran a red Copic pen around the edges of the front of my card blank then covered it with a piece of the embossed silver card slightly smaller to leave a red border. I then attached the doily, silver fibre fabric and image to the card front.
Apart from using up a snippet I also had a bit of fun experimenting with different textures, not my usual style at all, but I think it worked.
Thanks for visiting. Take care.

Happy Birthday Pippa! Thanks for stopping by our 613 Avenue Create neighborhood! I too have a box of images colored and not. I color when I bring my son to the indoor playground! This is a gorgeous rose and beautifully colored! I like the textures I think they work. Hope you like our neighborhood and come back to play often! :)

A lovely rose image, enhanced by the pretty gleaming silver and hot pink colors. Love that embossing on the silver mat, and how many times have I had the same problem with dies? I'll have to say, I'm having better success using the Sizzix precision plate, especially with the intricate doilies. Very pretty, Pippa. Enjoy your time away. Hope that the weather is just perfect for you. TFS & Happy Sunday.
