CAS-UAL FRIDAYS- Love Song & CASology-Red

 

CFC89 


Remember "The Rose" by Bette Midler? It starts...some say love...Would you be reminded of that just by looking at this card?  

I've been wanting to make my SIL "Rose" a card. She's  been on my mind ...as she is recovering from shoulder surgery.  If I pronounce it slowly... by syllable... I can say it...other wise it comes out soldier surgery. 

Both of these challenges spoke to me and this morning I drew a sketch. I created this negative cut using  SCAL. After playing with it for some time I was able to make the rose look realistic. I used a heavy weight card stock and cut it twice. I colored the rose with Spectrum Noir, then place it back in the negative cut.  No problem placing the inny cut  in the "R & O" but it was a bit tedious placing the tiny bit of the "e" in place. 

I'm pleased with how it turned out.  Mounted on a 4.25" X 5.5" red base card-after doing three scored lines on the top and right side. That is how the Rose...rose.

Be well and craft on! ~ Carole

  16. Thanks for the shoulder soldier chuckle, Carole, just tried it and you're right! This rose card is just gorgeous ... dramatic colours yet softly sweeping down the card ... love the framing you did on the two sides! Anita :)
