3D - White Roses

I saw a similar design on a bedroom wall and I couldn't resist making a version of it on a card. I used the 3-dimensional technique where you cut layers of the image to give out the depth. Scroll down for instructions. I hope you like it.



Details:
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Define Your Life (which I got free as a reward for great 2009 SAB sales, thanks SU!)
Ink: Craft Whisper White, Basic Gray
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip Brown, Shimmery White

Stamp 3 images onto the cardstock and trim the 3 parts of the flower as illustrated. Adhere pieces with dimensionals. I like using Shimmery White cardstock on these roses!!! So elegant!

Details:
Tools: Scallop Circle Die, Scallop Circle Punch (used for the shoulder straps),Round Tab Punch, Boho Punch(only used the small flower), Tombo Glue, Grosgrain ribbon, rhinestone stud or Pretties Kit.

Step 1: Punch out Scallop circle die and cut 1/4 of the big scallop circle. Cut out 2 seperate scallop from scallop circle punch. And cut out 1/2 of the Round Tab Punch.



Step 2: Adhere all parts with Tombo Glue



Step 3: Cut the round edge of the should strap



Step 4: Add on your grosgrain ribbon, Boho Punch flower and Pretties Pearl.
TIP: You can use any grosgrain ribbon and dot with white gel pens. But stamp with Boho Backgrounds with Craft Whisper White ink is better!

Organized Punchers

Good morning, Stamping Gals! I just wanted to share today what my Dad built me this week.It's a Puncher Rack! Since I ran out of space for my punchers, I had to look for a way to store my punchers. Fortunately, I found this idea from Mary. Check out her blog - Stampin' Pretty Thanks, Mary!!
