I’m trying to learn how to make a Peace rose….note to self, red + yellow = orange! The smallest flower below is due to my not allowing the yellow to dry completely before I touched the edges with the pink – it’s what happens when you finish up crafting after having friends over for games, and after they’ve all gone home, and you’ve cleaned up, you decide; Let’s do that last flower real quick! (At 10:45pm!)

I’ve been on a kick using up scraps. I have so many!! This paper is using Graphic 45’s “Grow with Love” collection. It has beautiful artwork (as usual!) and is perfect for Springtime, Mothers Day and/or Easter. If we are lucky, perhaps Graphic 45 will re-release it with a die in a Collectors pack, in the near future!!

You can see here I am able to shape and gain dimension with these dies, just the way I like it! You might also note some of the leaves are using a patterned paper – this is (leftover scraps) from the patterns and solids pack from “Cottage Life” I believe. I ran out of both of these paper packs much too quickly!

So I’ve tried to upload the video tutorial – I guess it’s too long, so instead I’ll have to refer you to my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/EQ57F1JbV8w?si=xVsvTVczT-Kr1I7l

Enjoy!!
