Ruby Tuesday: A Rose From Stella’s Garden

Published by leslierich at 10:17 pm under Cards, Ruby Tuesday, Stampin' Up! projects

Stella’s RoseI thought I was done with this Mixed Bouquet rose for a while, but it turns out I was wrong.  Just one more and then I’ll put it away.

For this card I used Cameo Coral for the card base.  I tried to see Rose Red in this paper, but the Coral turned out to be a better match.  I layered Old Olive on the Coral with the BasicGrey Stella Ruby paper on top of that.  The rose and leaves were stamped on Stella Ruby with Versamark and embossed with dark brown EP.  I cut these pieces out and mounted them on dimensional tape over layers of Old Olive and Chocolate Chip.  The Olive was wheeled in Olive with the retiring (so sad) Petals wheel, then distressed and sponged with Close to Cocoa.  I stamped Handle With Care in Ruby Red and tore, distressed and lightly sponged the edges.  Just a little piercing and I called it done because, try as I might, I was stumped on what else to do with it.  Happy Ruby Tuesday!

    Just gorgeous Leslie! Stella Ruby has slowly grown on me, in large part due to beautiful cards such as this one.

    I really need to start using my paper (vs hoarding it). Love how you embossed directly on the paper.
