Spring Bouquet of Roses

The last of the roses made so far have now all been handpainted.  Now off to make more cards ;-)

White Rose Bouquet

Just finished these and the stems I found smell like roses ... AMAZING!  I think I may need to go and find some more of those .... brings these flowers to "real life" ... if you haven't already gotten the chance to try these, I highly recommend it ... very relaxing!

Stay tuned as these will be seeing color in the near future ;-)  Have a blessed Saturday!

Watercolored Roses ... SO MUCH FUN!

Lunch time is finally here and I wanted to get a quick post in before I have to get back to work.  Okay, so as I've shared with many of you before, I have got to stop finding new things to try in the crafting world ... I love all things crafty!!!  And now for the premier release of my first watercolored coffee filter rose ... what do you think?  Something that you might like to try?  If you do, please share your pictures as I don't believe any two will ever look identical and that is one part of these I love.  Add your own flare ... create a new color and make it your own!  Happy Friday and check back later as there will be a lot of crafting going on this weekend!

First Coffee Filter Roses

So here is the first of many ... Since this is #1, I wanted to see what a plain white one would turn out like and it was fun.  My first time using floral tape and it is a bit tacky but hope to get the hang of it after a few more.  I have read several techniques so I am combining them to make it work for me.  Will be trying to water color this one soon and will repost.

So many ideas rolling around ... like scenting them with rose oil and adding to some bath salts and a candle for a nice little gift perhaps ...
