Hello there! It's grand opening day for Kennedy Grace Creations!
I've made two fun cards with the Beautiful Blooms, Sweet Rose stamp set. Let's take a look.
I white heat embossed the rose onto some Canson cold pressed watercolor paper and used Zig Clean Color brush markers to bring the bloom to life. I die cut the black banner using the Wonky Stitches die set from Avery Elle and white heat embossed the lovely sentiment. I pulled out the sparkling clear sequins from the Red Sangria sequin mix and from the Iced Berries mix for a variation of size. The patterned paper is from the Dear Lizzy Documentary 6x6 paper pad.
I stamped the roses from the Beautiful Blooms, Sweet Rose stamp set, colored them with Copic markers and added a layer of vellum over it to soften the look a bit. The patterned paper is from Pink Paislee's C'est la Vie collection No. 5. I die cut the patterned paper with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Scalloped Borders and once again with the reverse side of the paper to add a pop of color. The smile sentiment is from Lil Inker Designs which I die cut 4 times from black cardstock and adhered together for dimension. I gave the sentiment a once over with some Ranger Glossy Accents for some shine and called it a day.
