Fabulous Florals – Rose Inked Bouquet Card
For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 5"x6 ½" Gold paper and glue it to the card front.
Cut 4½"x5½" light pink Rose cardstock. Use the blender brushes to brush the three Harmony inks over the cardstock, blending the colors. Lightly spritz the cardstock with water and let it sit for a minute. Use a tissue to blot up the excess water. Repeat with another spritz if necessary, then thoroughly dry the cardstock with the heat gun.
Stamp the large rose image onto the cardstock with watermark ink, then cover it with black embossing powder. Tap off the excess powder and heat the remainder to melt it. Mat the panel on the black shimmer cardstock with 1/8" borders.
Tear a 2" wide strip of vellum, then trim it to 6" long. With watermark ink, stamp “if love is a rose…” near the right end and emboss it with gold powder. Position the vellum strip across the inked panel near the bottom, fold the ends to the back, and glue them in place.
Cut two 4" lengths of black metallic ribbon and tie a knot in one end of each. Glue the ribbons to the vellum strip as shown then wrap and glue the ends to the back. Foam tape the inked panel centered on the card front.
For the inside: Cut a 5"x3½" light pink Rose cardstock, then ink and splatter it with water as before. Mat the long edges on Gold paper with ¼" borders, then on black shimmer cardstock with 3/8" borders. Glue the cardstock across the inside center.
