I found a rose in the snippets box!

I am off on my travels again tomorrow so have just got time to post a quick card I made up yesterday. If you are anything like me you have probably got a stash of images stamped/printed out, some waiting to be coloured and some already coloured. I was having a sort out for some images to take away to do and discovered in my snippets box an already coloured one, as it fitted with a couple of challenges I thought I would make it up.

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.
