Case in point:
Here is another type of ROSE you can make. I used the Paper Roses & Leaves Set that is on sale ( 30% OFF) until August 16 midnight EDT. ( Check back this TUESDAY to see what our next DIGI OF THE WEEK will be ;) )
The videos that inspired me are THIS ONE ( by JadedStudios) and THIS ONE (by Psychomoms which uses similar technique ) After watching either of these videos, please see below for instructions on how I coloured my flower.
The Flower:
-I used 2 large and 1 medium paper rose flowers cut from a thin cardstock.
- Paint the outer edges of the petals LIBERALLY with Twinkling H2O paint ( I used Hot Cinnamon). ( Twinklers are great as they have a highly pigmented watersoluble paint AND the shimmery stuff )
-Lay the petals on your craft sheet or cardboard "spritzing box" LOL and spray the heck out of them with water in a mister. MAGIC HAPPENS, the shimmer kind of spreads around a bit BUT the pigment really moves!
- Blast the petals with heat gun until just damp.
-Spritz the petals with a shimmery spray ( mine is water, iridescent gold powder, gum arabic for binder, and antique linen + scattered straw reinkers - this adds a subtle shimmer while yellowing/antiquing the flower so the white is not so stark)
-Blast with heat gun again until just damp.
-Now make roses as per videos... you need needle-nose tweezers to twist your petals.
-Center is a black dew drop and a Big Sky Flake punch with stickles on top.
The REST of the card:
If you have noticed anything about my card making is I use white and cream papers/cardstock for EVERYTHING as a base to sponge ink on, colour, print on etc. The gold frames and swirlies were painted with Gold Lumiere paint. The rest is pretty much distress ink in one form or another ( sponged or added to my mini misters with mica powder and sprayed on). I sponged fired brick and scattered straw on the small printed Butterfly then spritzed with shimmer. I brayered some Gold Encore ink on the embossed backing paper for more gold. I LOOOVE gold heehee.
Hope you enjoyed my flower making session :)

ReplyDeleteFabulous card Tracey. Jade is such an inspiration I love that flower too. I can't wait to see your new designs with all the yummy inspiration your watching.
ReplyDeleteTracey, your card is in one word 'Magnificent'. I watched the tutorial by Jade and I learned something else too, start using my glue gun! I go through so many glue dots and such, and both my glue guns are sitting in the closet. I love the look of the flowers, both paper and fabric!
