Jo's Thank You Card

I made this beautiful card with my Stampin' Up! Fifth Avenue Floral 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 purple for the middle layer, a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of light purple 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 purple for the strip, a 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" piece of dark purple for the rose's first layer, a 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" piece of dark purple 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! Elegant Eggplant ink. Next attach the purple paper to it's background then to the front layer. Then attach the purple ribbon. Next heat emboss three roses on glossy white card stock with Versamark ink and white embossing powder, color them with the floating re-inker watercolor technique. Click here for an awesome tutorial. I used the following re-inkers: Stampin' Up! Elegant Eggplant, Lovely Lilac, Orchid Opulence, and Adirondak Silver Mixative. 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 purple middle layer then attach the middle layer to the dark purple first layer then attach the first layer the card's front layer. Next cut out the sentiment with a Spellbinders Labels Four Die, sponge it's edges with Elegant Eggplant ink, stamp the sentiment with a stamp from a Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations set and attach it to the front layer. Then attach the front layer to the middle layer then the middle to the base and enjoy!
