Amy’s Inkin’ Krew January Blog Hop– “LOVE”
Welcome! It’s that time again for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. You can catch us here on the second Tuesday of each month. Be sure to check out all the blogs, this is a talented group and you will find lots of inspiration. Our theme for the month is “Love”.
I love red, it is a power color. It always makes me feel energized when I wear or use red. I would probably use red for all my cards but know that I should not. I chose to make a card that can be for anyone, friend, relative or your one true love. I am using the same stamp set as I used in a previous post. It is just a different stamp from that set. This beautiful rose is from the Graceful Garden stamp set.
My card today starts with a Real Red card base. It is relatively simple and easy to make, even with looking so elegant, It is one layer, no mats, just the background panel for the Graceful Garden red rose. I suppose it could be called the mat for the rose. A panel of Whisper White card stock was cut using the Framelits Die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Die set. As you can see it makes a nice decorative piece for the card. 
I then used a stamp from the Timeless Textures stamp set to give a little texture to the background the rose would be popped on. The rose was stamped using Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Thick card stock. I then colored the rose using Stampin’ Write Marker in Real Red and Pear Pizzazz. It was then fussy cut. 
The rose was then popped onto the Whisper White panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Petal Palette stamp set and is stamped at the bottom in Real Red ink below the Graceful Garden rose. Three Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were popped on the card at the top and the bottom.
The inside sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. 
A small rose from the Graceful Garden stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink in the lower right corner of the sentiment panel. It is then colored using Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers. It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

**********************************************************
The leaves were attached to the back of the rose using two Glue Dots. It was easier doing it that way, you could tell exactly how the leaves needed to be placed around the rose. After attaching the leaves to the Graceful Garden rose it was popped on the water colored panel using Mini Stamp in Dimensionals.
