The Fragrance of a Rose

I found a pad of decorative tags from K & Co, and decided to use one for this card. It had a combination of wording, newsprint, and stitching in the design.  I started with a beige card base and added a layer of light teal cardstock that I stamped with CC043 Cover-a-Card Roses from Impression Obsession, using Brilliance Beige ink.  I used the ends of the decorative tag and layered them on dark brown cardstock that I cut out using Spellbinders’ Grand Label 4.  I stamped IO’s C4486 Peony in raspberry ink onto the tag ends.  I felt kind of silly because when I looked at this stamp I must not have looked close enough because I really thought it was a rose.  Oh well, it still looked nice.

For the sentiment I used C1380 Fragrance, also from Impression Obsession.  I stamped it in raspberry on cream cardstock, cut it out with Spellbinders’ Labels 18, and sponged the edges with Linen Distress Ink.  I layered this on a piece of beige cardstock, cut out with Spellbinders Labels 9 and sponged with dark brown Stazon ink.  I added this to the card with foam tape.

For embellishment I added some pink and beige pearls and teal paper roses that I purchased at Michael’s.  Then I used some seam binding that I dyed and wrapped it around the card and added a bow.
