BBTB2 Rose Challenge


Good morning! Hope you had a good weekend.
Thank you for all your kind comments about my first ever video tutorial yesterday.
 
Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our lovely leader Susan has asked us to use the rose cut from Art Philosophy.
There are so many different things you can use these wonderful flowers for.
 
 
I decided to dust my Cinch off and make a pretty notepad... just for me this time.
 
 
I distressed,inked, painted and enamelled this.
I stitched the pink DP to the kraft card and then cut a Papermania doily die cut in half and stitched that to it too.
My roses are cut at 2.75" and 2.5",inked ,enamelled and then some rock candy stickles added for texture.
The flourishes are also cut from Art Philosophy at 2.5"  and1".
 
 
Added a few pearls here and there.
 
 
I stamped these little flowers from the Happy Easter stamp set from My Craft Spot onto each of the pages! Loved the look but took way longer than expected!!!
 
 
Note to self - don't use distress stickles to enamel -- it explodes!!
Good job the notebook was meant to look shabby!! Lol.
 
My fellow team mates have loads of different and inspiring projects to get your creative juices flowing so do pop over and check them out.
Hope you can come and play with us.
 
Would just like to wish Carole a fond farewell. You will be greatly missed.

  4. Holy Moly, Jayne! This note book is so beautiful!!! I cannot even image how you thought of this! I love everything about this - how did you sew the pink DP to the cover? It would have broken my sewing machine needle. I must learn more about the enamel you mention... Even if some of it did explode! Love your flowers... and that die cut... OH I could go on and on. Fabulous job, sweetie!!!
