This is the first paper rose I've ever made and thankfully Hels has a tutorial on her blog. It's made out of thin red card blended with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink and then sprayed with Craftynotions Pink Lustre. To me it looks more like a carnation but that may be becuase of the Tattered Floral die I cut it out with. It's not perfect but not too bad for a first attempt.... I can see why they are addictive though!!
I've just mounted it on a Vintage Photo Distress Ink tag, with Tattered Leaves blended with Pine Needles and Tim's Creativity stamp. I thought it was apt on this occasion.
Anyway it's a lovely sunny day here so think I should venture out and prune something. Have a good day everyone.
How PRETTY is this rose! and yes they are surely addictive! I love your tag. sentiment is so meaningful.
