Swirly Dahlia
I finally stamped. I have to stamp in between games with Austin. I sure hope he is better soon. His sore throat is getting better, but now the cold is more of a nasty runny nose and cough. It’s always the same. And everytime Austin is over a sickness, he grew at least 1/2″.
I started out by using the So Swirly Jumbo roller with Soft Sky on a 3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the big Flower from Fabulous Flowers in Versamark and embossed it with Clear embossing powder.
Next I brayered Blue Bayou Classic ink over the entire piece of cardstock. I stamped the big swirl stamp from Priceless over the blue spaces of the cardstock, wiped the extra ink over the embossed flower away with a paper towel and tied a piece of double stitched River Rock grosgrain around it.
I layered my center piece on a 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of soft sky cardstock, then on a 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of cardstock and added Giga Scallop Square punches underneath.
The card base is a 5″ x 8 1/2″ piece of River Rock cardstock folded in half. I stamped the background stamp Tres Chic on it in River Rock and sponged the edges in the same color.
I love this card. I have been undecided about this set but now I think I am going to have to add it to my list.
How pretty Beate! You know, I did not buy this set and now that I see how many beautiful cards are being made with it, I am kicking myself! I have to have it!!!! *HUGS* Alex
I LOVE how you rolled the swirls under the big flower then embossed……clever gal!
I wasnt sure how handy that roller would come in if you have the priceless set, but this is a FAB idea.
I havent put in my order yet and Im glad because you’ve sold me on some sets that I wouldnt have bought otherwise.
Thanks for all your great ideas!
