A Pearl Centered Rose With Love.

Until now, I hadn't been game enough to attempt a rose with Spellbinders Rose Creations Die.  I purchased it purely on a whim that maybe, one day, I could make something half as fabulous as Madame Donna Salazar purports that one can with her die.  Yes,  I bought into the dream.  Needless to say... there it sat.  Yesterday, I guess, I found my nerve.  Embarrassingly enough, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, even though I doubt I would win a handmade paper rose beauty pagent, but I'd reckon it could possibly snaffle twentieth runner up on a good day.  I am pretty chuffed with it actually and most importantly had a hoot of a time making it.

The overall card was born from the inspiration stimuli of both The Shabby Tea Room and Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.  Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge sketch called a circlular shaped card to duty with the additional elements as drawn and The Shabby Tea Room asked kindly for the inclusion of chevrons and the colors: Blue, Brown, Cream, Green, and Orange (that's a fair swag of colors, hey?).  I thought, why not just create a fun and crafty card salad as my offering into the mix?  Not sure what actually prompted me to add all these fantastic bits and bobs in the one card, but I don't half mind the results.  And yes, that is an invisible button I used on the card, in case you were wondering.  *wink* Oopsy!  

Thanks for stopping by for a gander.  I do appreciate your visits so.  Have a brilliant and inspired day!
