Welcome
The majority of my cards are fairly CAS, and I particularly like sympathy cards to be CAS.
I started with a piece of silver card, and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder It is an old one, called Ironworks if I remember rightly. I discovered when making this, that if the folder has a geometric design on it, I can lengthen the embossed pattern to cover the full length of the fractionally longer A4 cardstock that we work with.
I stamped and silver embossed the rose and sentiment on snippets of card, then die cut them using Memory Box Stitched Rectangles.
I painted the rose using Semco mica based watercolour paints
I added a small bow to the stem of the rose once it was painted
The card was finished with a sentiment on the inside - stamped in black ink.
It is straight - just that the card was on an angle when I photographed it.

That is so clever how you used the folder to increase it's length - so neatly done.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely elegant, my friend! So sorry for the delayed comment, just been super busy. Thank you so much for linking with us at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you some encouragement from God's Word in Ephesians 2:10 which says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Be blessed!
