Pink petals

Hello friends and happy February!  Sifting through my papers, which are in desperate need of organization, I happen across a beautiful package of prints sent to me from Kirsty.  She's a wonderful artist, a kind soul, and heads up the Design Team over at The City Crafter.  A print of soft roses leapt into my hands as did a pink paper rose I've squirreled away for I don't know how long.  Too precious to use but yet never getting the admiration it so deserves.  So I decided to put the two together.  Unfortunately my precious rose was waaaay too big for this project ... so, I did what any one of us would - I tore it apart.  Yep, dis-assembled it piece by piece.  Now I have lots of rose petals to play with and I couldn't be happier!


My crocheted rose is nested into a twist of shabby fabric and layered on top of some precious pink petals.  I tucked a velvet leaf or two underneath and embellished it with hand dyed yellow seam binding.  A couple decorative pins peek out from behind the many loops.  The doily was created with Sizzlits Paper Doily Die and brushed with ink.


A simple tag, some string, and a few buttons convey a heartfelt message - one that can serve any occasion but speaks volumes with the love that created this card.
