Making a Leaf Rose

Welcome to my blog: http://coloredtips.com/
This is easy tutorial how to make a rose from maple leaves. Autumn leaf craft is very popular all around the world. Only in autumn you can bring natural bright colours to your home. But instead of making applique with fall leaves, I suggest you to make roses and put them into the vase. It looks amazing! It seems, as you bought real red, yellow and orange roses.
For fall leaves roses you will need:
- autumn leaves (red, yellow and orange)
- a stick
- a rope
Follow my tutorial of making maple roses and you will get wonderful rose buds full of live and colours! Enjoy!

Vellum Poinsettia by Mary Brown

Joyful Christmas

Week 3 of Create with Connie and Mary Winter Collections 2013 is over and so we have a wonderful Sketch Challenge for you!
I had so much fun doing the Poinsettia the other week that I decided to do another one this week (okay…AND I had the poinsettia already stamped and cut out…it just needed colored!).
Here’s the details…

• Pink Pirouette – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
• Pink Pirouette dsp – 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.  Stamp the greeting in Versamark, silver emoboss and add to card front.
• Add silver glimmer paper 5 1/2 x 1 1/8.
• Stamp Poinsettia 2 times using Versamark on Vellum cardstock and silver emboss.  Cut out one full and the center one of the other.  Sponge the back in Cherry Cobbler.  Layer small flower on large flower using dimensional.  Add flower to card using dimensional.
• Punch out three 1/4″ Silver Glimmer circles and add to the center of the flower to finish it.
