Wplus9 Dec./Jan. Release: Day 3

It's Day 3 of Wplus9 Design's December/January Release week, friends, and we're sharing creations inspired by Coming Up Roses and its coordinating die today.  I've also brought back another sentiment from the plethora in Fresh Cut Wreaths to share this with you all.

I started this card by framing a piece of white, foil, embossed, floral, patterned paper with Black cardstock, as well as gold-threaded, straight, machine stitches; wrapping it, just above horizontal center, with a length of gold ribbon, which I tied, in a bow, near the right edge of the prepped piece and embellished with a black pearl; and adhering it, with foam tape, to the Kraft, cardstock, card face.

I then stamped a piece of Kraft cardstock, in Crumb Cake, White, and Garden Green inks, with the filler flowers and rose stem; added a strip of gold, arrow rubons near its left side; framed it with a stamped, in Jet Black ink, on a White, cardstock, rounded rectangle, die cut; and adhered it, with foam tape, just to the left of the embellished bow.  It was then topped with the rose bits, which were stamped, in Real Red, Garden Green, and Chocolate Chip inks, on Crumb Cake, cardstock die cuts and adhered with more foam tape.

The blossoms were then grounded with an ink distressed, White, cardstock, die cut vase, which I topped with a gold label, stamped, in Jet Black ink, with the "best wishes" sentiment.

Finally, I white embossed the butterfly, from Flora & Fauna I, on vellum; hand cut it out; and adhered it, just as its center, topping the highest flower.

That gives you a little taste of what all our new stamp sets and dies can do, but we'll all still be back, with one final project, on Group Post Day.  Plus, you'll get to see each and every stunningly detailed image tomorrow.  Woohoo!  Until then, thanks, as always, for peeking in!  Don't forget to stop by to see what the rest of the team has up their sleeves, for you all, today, as well as to leave a comment on the Wplus9 Design Blog for your chance to win today's stamp set/die combo, and have a terrific Tuesday!  Hugs!
