ROSE FOR SPRING CARD

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here with you to share a sweet card with a Rose Cut Out in chipboard, one of the great products from Unique Laser Designs that I used to create my card.


This is the original Rose without any alterations. This flower  called Rose is available in MDF, Chipboard and cork. Also in two different sizes, 4-1/2"x3-1/4" the size that I used and 2"x1-1/2". In any form that you decide to use it´s beautiful, because you can decorate it with a lot of techniques to get different looks and textures like I made with mine.


This time I decided to work with PowderPuff Chalk Inks from Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company. Their colors are vibrant and the texture is very soft at the same time. 



I applied the color directly from the ink pad over the flower. I started with the leaves using the colors Soft Sage and Kakhi. Then I continued with the body of the flower, using the colors Coral and Orange Slice. The PowderPuff Chalk Ink dried very quick and when I was satisfied with the color, I covered the entire flower with Wink of Stella Brush to give it a bling.


To finish my card I created a base with Pistachio Pudding Card Stock with a second layer in the same color. I made a dry embossing to the second layer using a Plaid Background Embossing Folder and inked it with the same color of Classic Ink to create a tone by tone background. 


To give m card a more delicate look, to go with my Rose, I cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock, I pierced the vertical borders and stamped my sentiment on top with Versamark and Embossing Powder Wild Wasabi


Remember to heat the vellum when your heat tool reaches a stable temperature and to always heat from behind to avoid the paper bursting into flames.


After this, I pasted the vellum centered behind the Rose with glue dots and covered the glue dots with  little pearls.


Working with good quality products and finishes from Unique Laser Designs definitely makes our creations representative of us and allows us to express our creativity in the est way. That's why in the ULD Store you will find a wide variety of products for all styles and activities. I invite you to visit the ULD Store to fall in love with all of them like me. 

Se you soon with another unique project specially for you!
