This project was inspired by "Mothers Day 3D corsage" and since I don't own this image I decided to do what crafting is all about...imagination and using what you already have.
Trio of roses!
For this corsage I used the following cartridges and measurements. Giant Flowers (pg 24), the yellow rose was cut at 2 1/2 inches, the large pink/orange rose was cut at 2 1/4 inches and the pink rose bud was cut at 2 inches. Flower Shoppe (pg22) fun leaf #5, cut at 2 and 2 1/2 inches.
*on the smallest rose, I only used the petal cut that calls for 5, but cut a total of 15 and used these to replace the larger petals in the image. This gives the rose a true bud look.
All of the rose images were cut from white card stock and colored with the following inks...pink geranium, manderine orange, dandelion and carnation pink, but any color combination could be used...it's what ever you want it to be.
For the wrist band, I used one of my Martha Stewart punches...sorry, dont know the name of it, but once again, you can simply use what ever it is you have in your craft supplies.
After I finished putting the corsage together, my son walked in and asked where I got the roses from...it was the best compliment ever!
Hope you enjoyed this post, I know I really enjoyed making it.
Your corsage is beautiful..........

ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!!! I'm doing rose bouquets for Mothers' Day using the Flower Shoppe cartridge and they're a lot of work, but worth it!
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, if you'd like to "preserve: them, use the Mod Podge spray sealer (I got mine at Walmart). Works beautifully and doesn't smell too bad once dry. Takes a coat or two but makes a huge difference!
Beautiful blog btw!! :-)
Thanks for this nice comment and great suggestion on using the Mod Podge spray sealer...I do use the regular MP, but will have to pick up some spray on my next visit to WalMart and use it on my flowers. I cant wait to see yor rose bouquets. Kathie
