This is the second card I made a few weeks ago. I was playing around with a scalloped square Nestabilities piece and came up with a sort of medieval look. I might do this more often. I like the many options this opens up.
The Creamy Caramel cardstock was scored using a Scor-Pal. If you look closely you'll see a couple of goofs. I accidentally slipped when I was scoring the paper and I also dented the cardstock when I tied the ribbon too tight. Dern! Was not about to start over at that point, though. See? I am making progress on my perfectionism. :D
All the cardstock except the black and white was done direct-to-paper with matching inks. It makes the paper look like suede. Love that!
The roses were colored with Copics. I layered many colors over each other.
I used the Kassie's Brocade Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss over the roses.
The word stamp is from SU Wonderful Words. Boy, all my stamps are becoming ancient relics, aren't they? lol I think just about everything I own is now retired!
Well, thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy this card. God's blessings on you.
