Guava Rose
Here is another 3 1/8″ square card made with the largest of the long scallop rectangle Nestabilities die templates (that’s quite a mouthful!)
The card base is cut out of textured Groovy Guava and folded in half.
Wasabi double stitched ribbon was tied around the bottom half of a 2″ x 2 7/8″ strip of Tea Time Designer Paper. The strip was adhered to the left hand side with dimensionals.
The head of the rose from Bloomin’ Beautiful was stamped in Black Stazon on a Whisper White oval. It was colored with Aqua Painterand classic inks (Groovy Guava, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi), layered on a Wild Wasabi scalloped oval and a border was paper pierced along the edges. Both ovals were cut with the Oval Nestabilities. The image was attached to the card base with dimensionals.
To finish the card off I added two 1/4″ Wild Wasabi circles to the bottom right and topped them off with silver brads.
If you have questions about Nestabilities die templates (Where did I buy them? Which ones do I own? How do you use them?) check this blog entry.

What a beautiful card! I need to remember to put the colored circles behind the brads, it adds so much!

Beate this guava rose is so dreamy! Your Nesties are so perfect here! I guess you have them all! To be able to make your scalloped edge cardstock with them is great! They are on my wish list for sure! Take care, enjoy your Nesties! Hugs, Deb

Beate,
Oh, this is so beautiful! …as all your creations. Thanks for sharing. I love drooling over your creations.
I have a question about how you cut the card with the Nestablilities. Did you run the folded card through to cut the scallop card edge or did you cut the front and back covers separately? I tried with my card folded and I was only able to cut the top flap, the bottom flap was embossed.

And Beate does it again! Well done! I just realized the other day that I have NEVER used my groovy guava~ I don’t know why. I will need to get some of the tea time paper since it looks so beautiful with the guava. Thanks for sharing with us.

What a great idea for the card base. I just recieved my first set of nestabilities and they happend to be all of the long rectangular sized ones. I’m going to give this a try! Love it!
