APG Guest Designer - Candlewick Colonnade & Rosebud Dies

It's week 3 of my September Guest Designer spot for Becca Feeken at Amazing Paper Grace. Today, I created a card with handmade flowers from Shapeabilities Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies and a Shapeabilities Candlewick Colonnade Border.

I rarely make my own flowers but these were actually really easy and I think they turned out great! I used foamiran to create these. I bought some a while back and just never sat down to figure it out.

The sheets are white but I tinted my die cuts a nice shade of pink and then heat set them with my heat gun just enough to watch them curl up. Aren't they fun!? I did the same thing with the leaves and placed some stamen in the middle and added that gorgeous blue silk ribbon & bow.

It's a little hard to see but I really love the accent of the silver candlewick flourish on the right side. I love all the color and texture on this one! Come back next Wednesday for my last week of Guest Designer using Amazing Paper Grace dies by Spellbinders.
