Slimline card with handmade paper roses

 Hello, fellow crafters.

Today's inspiration is a slimline card with handmade paper roses.

 

First, create your roses. I used Lady E Design flower 001 to cut out flowers from watercolour paper. I placed the die-cut flowers on a craft sheet end used a medium brush to wet the flowers. Next, you should drop some watercolour unevenly onto these flowers. Allow to stand until the paper is almost dry, then roll the edges of the petals. Place flowers onto a foam flower-shaping mat and press into the centre of each petal to get a rounded shape. Assemble the roses. You may watch Emilia Sieradzan’s video on hand made paper roses on Youtube.

 

Make the card base by cutting firm cardstock 21x21cm. Score at 10,5 cm.

I used Lemoncraft House of Roses paper. Cut a piece 10,5x 21cm to cover the card base.

Use the Tutti Designs slimline trellis die to cut out a piece from the same paper. Do not adhere this to the card yet.

Use the second and third largest dies from Tutti Designs stitched slimline die set and cut out a frame from cream cardstock. Lay this over the trellis die-cut and trim the trellis piece to the same size as the frame. Adhere to the card.

Embellish the card with lace, die-cut leaves and the roses. I used Lady E Design leaves 002 and herb leaves dies.
