Birthday Roses

Hello. I created this card with some new products from Honey Bee Stamps:

I first die cut all the elements from the die set out of white, so I could see where everything went in this layering die set. I also went on Honey Bee Stamps web site where there is a layering guide.

The leafy background was then die cut again from Concord & 9th parsley card stock. I wanted a bright and vivid green. The details on the leaves weren’t as obvious as I wanted, so I ran it through again with the silicone mat to emboss those details a little more deeply.

For the two larger flowers I ink blended some peach colour tones from Pinkfresh Studio inks onto each layer – darker for the bottom, and getting lighter to the top.

The smaller buds I went with yellow flowers, and chose the make the top layer green for leaves, and a lighter green than the parsley card stock so it stood out more.

Once I had laid everything on tp of the leafy background piece, I glued the initial white piece behind it to give it more stability,

A white card base seemed to wash out the colours, and wasn’t quite dramatic enough, so I chose a black card base which I think works better.

All the elements were glued down, a foiled sentiment added, and some clear dew drops also added.
