Turquoise Roses in Frame

 This card was inspired by one I found on the Waffle Flower site. I recently bought the stencilled roses and wanted to try this idea. 

I am not overly happy with the results but I thought I would post this anyways. The stencil and die set is a bit difficult to use... stencilling first makes it hard to align the die as it is solid. Die cutting first makes it hard to line up the stencils as the leaves are flimsy and don't always end up in the right spots. I chose to stencil first and then die cut... 

I die cut several frames from four shades of pink cardstock, each one progressively smaller. In real life, there are four definitive shades of pink but in the photos, it looks like only two shades. The roses were placed on two different layers and an embossed sentiment was added along with some clear gems. 

Enjoy,
