Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming


Hi, Friends.......

I am here with another card to share in the Simon Says STAMPtember Gina K Designs Collaboration Challenge. When I made THIS CARD with the layered roses, I made two of the backgrounds. I decided to turn this one into a Christmas card. I sooooooo wish there were some Christmas stamp sets with rose motifs, because I love the old carol "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming". I think roses make lovely Christmas cards.

For this card, I layered Noel diecuts, added some sparkly glitter to the roses, and glued a few clear sequins here and there. Placing it on a red card base gives it a festive Christmas feel. What do you think? I really love how it turned out.


Supplies used include:
Gina K. Designs - Old Country Roses stamp set
Distress Inks for flowers and leaves
Canson - Mixed Media Paper
Leftover Easter egg dye for background
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Noel Cutaway die
Pretty Pink Posh - Sparkling Clear Mix sequins
Glitter from stash
Scraps of DCWV solid cardstock
Darice/Core'dinations cardstock for card base

Hope you enjoyed seeing this second rendition of my background. Thank you for stopping by today!!!

🖤
Janis

  2. Hello, Janis! Your rose card is beautiful! I like how you made it a Christmas card! Just popping in to let you know I'm excited about the Cat Lovers Hop - I just added your badge to my sidebar! My lovely friend Suzanne H. reminded me about the hop - I haven't been blogging or crafting much and it slipped my mind. Hopefully I can get my act together and start early this year! Thanks as always for all the work you do for this fun annual event! I wouldn't miss it!

  4. Gorgeous sparkly roses Janis - and I agree about roes and Christmas - but then I think roses can be for any season and wishes. Thank you for joining us at ABC Christmas Challenge with your sparkly roses and sequins. :) Lynda DT

  8. This is so beautiful and that rose is a non-traditional but lovely Christmas motif! Your subtle background really lets the roses take center stage and that glitter gives such a magical feel to your design. LOVE this!
