Roses for you - PPA89

It has been awhile since my last post. I am trying to find my Mojo. Not too sure about  this card. I had some issues with the leaves. After I added the small leaves I thought, this looks like a pansy. I thought about adding some more leaves then thought I better quit while I was ahead. The roses are made using the scallop circle punches & then cutting in a spiral to Quill them up into roses. I have seen these on several blogs and not sure who the originator is.

Rubber Inkspiration Tips:

• Adjust the size of the rose by using different size scallop circles to start with.
• Rose size can be adjusted by how tight or loose the quill is made.
• Break down fibres in paper with bone folder prior to cutting into spiral to make paper more pliable & easier to quill.
• Sponge the edge of the spiral (front & back) before assembly to add dimension.
• I used tombo mutli glue - this is the best for this type of project, it bonds quickly & holds really well.

PPA83 Challenge

I thought I would try my hand at the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts. I saw a card similar to this on a blog  but I can't remember who. It is a spin on the retiform technique. Thuis is my first try at this technique.

Stamps: Because I Care,Bliss, Very Vintage wheel
Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze
Paper:Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Antique brads (117273), Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon (122331)

Rubber Inkspirations Tips:

• Use sticky Sticky notes so they stay put while you ink the edges, mine were not very sticky & kept slipping.
• Try to sponge grid edges evenly, so they have the same color value.
• Using piercing tool to make hole for the brad.
