Roses Galore

Who doesn't love flowers?! When I saw The Sweet Life by Papertrey Ink, I knew I had to have it (sounds like every other set I have lol). I tried to work with sets that involve stamping multiple times to get a finished image of a rose or other flower, but it's always failed! This is one of the easier sets to work with, in my opinion (and happy that it has coordinating dies!) I spent some time just figuring out what color combinations worked for some of the flowers. I have a lot of inks, but compared to many experienced crafters, it's obviously not enough! ;-)

The sets I used for the sentiments were from Wet Paint and Signature Greetings. I needed those, too. ;-)


The colors that worked for the pink roses from bottom layer to top: Mama Elephant Piggy Bank, Memento Rose Bud, and Stampin' Up Melon Mambo. No need to buy these exact ones because other colors will work -- just practice until you get a look you're satisfied with!




The colors that worked for the orange roses from bottom layer to top: Hero Arts Shadow Ink Soft Cantaloupe, Stampin' Up Pumpkin Pie, and Stampin' Up Tangelo Twist. 



I didn't want to bore you with an individual image of each card, nor did I want to post a separate entry for each one. Here are some of my favorites:


I definitely plan on trying different color combinations, techniques, and thinking outside the box for these sets! For now, I really needed some quick thank-you, birthday, and hello cards for friends! Blessed to have SO MANY friends and especially ones who appreciate and support my work!


I think I ended up with about 21-24. I lost count because my creative mojo kicked in and I made so many cards in a whole week!! 


Thank you for visiting and leaving me some love. Be sure to check out my first DT post about The Ton's January/February release! 

For those of you who are wondering what paper I use, it's the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80#. The best price I've found is here. Happy crafting!

This one is for you, my friends! ;-)

      Thank you, Monika!! I have a few other sets where you layer and stamp flowers. Those are SOO hard. I almost gave up. This one seems a little bit easier. I would suggest to keep practicing. I hope you're able to because it's a gorgeous set!! ♡

    Did you stamp and then die cut? If so, how did you line up the die so perfectly with the stamped image? I tried stamping then cutting and use the magnetic platform, but still miss my image ever so much.
