Paper Roses

Product used:
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (Banner 6 - flower) & (Leaf 4)
Tulip cardstock
Cranberry ink
New England Ivy cardstock
Ponderosa Pine ink
Bamboo skewers
Pearl adhesive gems (Z1336)
Lots and lots of Liquid Glass ; - )


I went from this...




to this...





and here is a close-up, you can't really see the pearls inside the petals.
I used 1/4" strips of New England Ivy cardstock to wrap around the bamboo skewers.



It took me most of the day to make a dozen roses but I will have this bouquet on my desk for a long, long time. And when I have more time I will make some baby's breath to go with it.

They are truly lovely - you are so creative. I can well imagine the baby's breath inserted here and there among the roses. Well done!
