How to make a beautiful rose card with stamping techniques

Long stemmed rose card

Description

A white card has a pink square shadow stamp design over stamped with a long stemmed rose. Crystal glitter glue is used to pick out the rose detail and the edges of the card. It is finished with a pink ribbon.

Materials used

White single fold greetings card with deckle edge 88mm x 114mm (3½ ins x 4½ ins)
Hero shadow stamp A1873 Background 1
De Nami Sm long stemmed rose stamp F105
Pink Encore Ultimate Metallic ink pad
Tombow brush pens in pink and green
Pink ribbon
Crystal glitter glue

Method

Stamp the card with the shadow stamp design. To get the effect of darker edges, ink the stamp and stamp it on scrap paper to remove some of the ink. Then re-ink just the edges of the stamp and stamp your card.

The rose stamp was inked in two colours using pink and green Tombow brush pens.

Add glitter glue highlights to the stamped image and the edges of the card.

Pierce two holes in the spine of the card 20mm apart. Thread pink ribbon through the holes. The two ends first went from the outside in and them returned through the opposite holes. The ribbon is 140 mm long and 20mm wide.
