Love card in June...

Just in time to show you my new card! Although Valentines is now too far, I think that a love card is always welcome. So I thought why not to "Send a love card in June" to that special person.


I used my new sketch, the Rose, of my "Say it with Flowers Collection". I think it is a beautiful addition to a love card. As I do like too much 3D cards, I always printed the image 2 or 3 times and carefully cut out the details I want to highlight. In this case, the small rose has a second copy on top and to the big rose I cut out 2 more copies, I removed some petals in different parts and put the smaller piece on top. I think this can be seen better in the second picture.

Card supplies:
Image of EdithDesigns© (that's me!), Bazzill Cardstock, German Cardstock, 140lb watercolor paper, miscellaneous designer paper, Caran d'Ache watercolors, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Floral Fantasy embossing folder, Cat's Eye pigments different colors, Fiskars flower border punch paper, satin ribbon, Hearts from my Cricut Create, little flowers rhinestones, white silk thread and my sewing machine.

BRIER ROSE, Say it with Flowers Collection

I have been so busy on last days and I have had little time to work on my cards. I am so sorry, because it is an activity that I really love. So far my collection has 10 designs. Today I will show the Brier Rose, also called Dog Rose, Dogberry, Wild Brier. It is the common European wild rose. I did not find a specific meaning, but I know it has many uses. Their hips are rich in vitamins and they are very useful to prepare jam, beverages, herbal tea, jelly, oils, syrup and marmalade. I like roses very much and I think this card is special for Mother's Day because all roses, expensive or wild, are beautiful for mothers.

Card suplies:
Image from EdithDesigns, Bazzill cardstock, 140lb. watercolor cardstock, miscellaneous designer paper, bronze metallic cardstock, Cuttlebug Floral Screen embossing folder and Floral Border, Spellbinders Borderabilities In Spades, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 2, Ecoline Inks, Caran D’Ache watercolors, glitter, faux pearls, patterned crafting scissors, off white and green satin ribbon, off white thread and my sewing machine.
