CS83 – Cottage Rose

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Goodbye!  We will design our cards using this theme of retiring products!

COTTAGE ROSE

I think this is one of the prettiest Stampin’ Up! flower sets we’ve had.  I know I used it a LOT when it first came out.  I often grab it to make a get-well card because I love the feel better greeting in it!  I especially love how this turned out using the retiring Polished Pink color.  I’m SO going to miss it!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 1-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of  Enjoy the Moment Designer Paper was added to the front.
• The greeting from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink under the DSP.
• The floral image from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored using a Water Painter and Polished Pink, Parakeet Party and Crushed Curry Ink Refills.  It was cut with the Cottage Flowers Dies.
• Some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was looped a couple times and adhered to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
• The finished rose was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon.
• A trio of Adhesive Backed Milky Dots were added to the background.

 

SO pretty and an easy card to whip out at the last minute…even with the little bit of coloring!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
