Good Day To You ALL,
Today I thought I would join in at The Shabby Tea Room #126 - Soft Neutrals. I have not entered in ages and the birthday card I made for a dear girlfriend fit the bill. I began with Kraft paper in a square card shape with a beautiful scalloped fold-over flap. I ran some 'brown bag' ink over a cuttlebug folder and then embossed the front panel of the card.
I found a vintage postcard on 'Graphics Fairy', - what a great site this is! I cut some cream/rose patterned paper with an edge punch (ek) and a swirl punch (Tim Holtz) to add in behind the postcard. Then I tied some jute string around the postcard.
I used my Spellbinders to cut out the petals and then folded and inked them to create the beautiful rose and bud. I also added some liquid glass (not quite dry in my photo) for dew drop effects.
I found some buttons to glue on and some pink fibre to use to make a wrap-around closure. Of course, you can't forget the lace - the final touch of vintage goodness!
I hope you are all having a creative day. Stop by to say hello anytime!

Just beautiful. Your rose is perfectly wonderful. The embossed paper in the background really show up well and totally compliments the whole piece.
