To Create a Soft Realistic Looking Tea Rose…

• Use the Crossover II Die-Cutting System* to cut the flower shape out of cream cardstock.
• Ink the outside edges of the flower shape using the Ink Blending Tool* and soft pink/rose ink.

• Place the flower cut out on the craft molding mat*.  (approximately the thickness of a computer mouse pad)
• Using a large ball stylus tool*, press down on the center of the shape until the paper starts to bow.  This helps the paper when you start to manipulate the shape.

• Start at the outside end of the flower and use the reverse grip tweezers* to start slowly rolling the spiral.

• When your finished rolling, glue the bottom tab to the rose shape to hold the flower in place.

• Use the reverse grip tweezers* to grasp the side of the flower and roll it back to form the natural curve of a petal.

It’s really quick and easy to make these delicate looking roses.  

To finish the card…

• Die-cut a  vase using the Spring Farmhouse scrapbook paper.
• Assemble a card base using  coordinating decorative scrapbook paper.
• Glue the small roses over the top of the vase.
• Add stamped leaves and the die-cut words “bloom” .
• Finish with a small cream tag with the words “with grace” stamped in green.
