Crafts by Carolyn - Using buds and roses in card making

Using buds and roses
I have a variety of paper flowers, both buds and open roses, and I am determined that I will start using some of them. I have put a selection of cards that Clare and I, have made in the past, I thought it might inspire you to dig out those roses that you have tucked away. Get that glitter out and tart them up if they look a bit boring. I will definitely get making now that I have wandered through these.
Vintage The open roses look perfect in the centre of a 'bloom'.		I need it The leaves were cut with the Robo - but there are plenty of punches around for similar shapes.
	Mother's Day Lace and roses make a perfect partner for this card made by Clare.		Masked A stamped image using the masking technique - once again lace and roses the perfect partner.
Celebration A couple of rose buds sets off this celebration card.		Vintage Lace and roses are always a good combination
	Open Rose Set onto a punched daisy, and then some glitter from the many little stickles that I own.		Tagged Arranging a little 'bouquet' onto a tag makes for a pretty card. couple of pearls give it a 'lift'.
Simple duo Framed and mounted onto patterned paper, the addition of a pretty tartan ribbon sets it off.		Another duo Gingham ribbon and embossed patterned paper, bring the interest to this card.
