Hello, Friends!

Happy Christmas Eve! I’m sharing a project using the Christmas Rose set from Hero Arts today. Last year, ironically at this very time, I used another Hero Arts set called Christmas Rose as well, except it was made using a background cling stamp. The card reminded me of Rifle Paper Co.’s patterns. You can view that post HERE. Here’s a picture of that card, just for fun:

The new Christmas Rose set is a beautiful single bouquet that I decided to watercolor for today’s card. I stamped it with a light ink to do no-line watercoloring using Daniel Smith watercolors.

Paint colors used:
Flowers: Pyrrol Crimson, Quinacridone Coral
Berries: Quinacridone Purple
Flower centers: Quinacridone Gold
Foliage: Sap Green, Hooker’s Green

After painting, I die-cut the image and added some black details to the stamen by drawing them back in using a black drawing pen. I could’ve also painted it back on, but I get better control with a pen. For my background, I ink-blended a white panel with Festive Berries and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. I started at the top right hand corner and faded to white .

I attached my image using foam adhesive to give it lots of dimension, then splattered it with gold and white paint to give it more interest. For my sentiment, I embossed in white over black cardstock and fussy-cut around the scripted words to frame it better.

I finished by adding the card panel to a cardbase and attached some iridescent sequins. I hope you like it! I’m really loving these bouquets from Hero Arts! This bouquet can be colored in any way to give it a non-Christmassy look too!

Have a wonderful evening with your family/friends. Thanks for stopping by today!
