Fifth Avenue Rose Valentine's Day Card

I made this beautiful card with my Stampin' Up! Fifth Avenue Rose stamp set. It's always been one of my favorite sets because the images are not only gorgeous they're also perfect for several techniques and occasions. I love how this card turned out. The colors look great together and I love the rose's 3D effect. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of white card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of dark pink for the middle layer, a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of light pink for the front, a 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of white for the strip's background, a 2 5/8" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper for the strip, a 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" piece of dark pink for the rose's first layer, a 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" piece of dark pink for the rose's middle layer, and a 3" x 3" piece of white for the rose.

Then randomly stamp the rose on the front layer in Stampin' Up! Pretty in Pink ink. Next attach the patterned paper to it's background then to the front layer. Then attach the Stampin' Up! Primrose Petals poly stitched ribbon and button. Next heat emboss three roses on white card stock with Versamark ink and black embossing powder, trace all the lines with a pink wax-based color pencil then using a blending stub and gamsol or another scent-free mineral spirit blend the color through the petals getting lighter as you go. Then cut out all three roses with a craft knife and attach one of them to the 3" x 3" piece of white card stock. Next create layers with the other two roses and attach them to the first one with mini pop dots. Here's what it looks like from the side:

Then attach the rose's white background to it's light pink middle layer then attach the middle layer to the dark pink first layer then attach the first layer the card's front layer. Next cut out the sentiment with a Spellbinders Labels Seventeen Die, sponge it's edges with Pretty in Pink ink, stamp the sentiment with a misc. Valentine's Day stamp and attach it to the front layer. Then attach the front layer to the middle layer then the middle to the base and enjoy!
