Mother's Day Easel Card Rose

 


Ahhh....now this is more like I had in mind when I created my first aasel card.  Earlier today, I created an my first easel card for my Mom.  I liked it but decided to try something a little different.  I found another tutorial here and thought it was a lot easier than the first one and the first one wasn't hard, but why have an extra step ... right...  Today was a day of firsts for me....I made my first easel cards, I sanded paper for the first time on the roses, and I made these roses for the first time.  Success.   I really like how this one turned out!  I love the red, black, and white.  Very pretty.  I should have made one of these for my Mom with a blue rose on it.  I love how the sanded edges give such a pretty look to these roses.  Lovin it!
