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.
