I started playing around with making some paper roses after seeing some in the craft store and seeing how expensive they were. I made the red rose below out of a paper grocery bag. I just cut a big circle and then cut it into a spiral. I wrapped the paper around and around until it resembled a rose. You could cut into it to make petals but I liked the rustic look of leaving it rough. I then sprayed it with Vibez in Red-y Or Not (my fave). I cut the leaves out of a paper bag as well and sprayed them with a beautiful green shade called Vertigre. Now, believe it or not, the pink roses are sprayed with the same color but since I made them out of plain white copy paper instead of the paper bag, the shade looks totally different! I really loved the way the flowers came out so I decided to put them on a canvas. The chipboard LOVE is from Making Memories. I painted it with some crackle paint for some texture and then sprayed it with a couple of coats of Jeni B Blue. Love that color too! I think it is my second fave! For the background of the canvas, I painted it with some copper acrylic paint and then sprayed it with Penny Pincher, a gorgeous shade of copper.
For the finishing touches, I added a little bling from Prima, some ribbon and a corsage pin from Making Memories and some T-Drops (love those!!) from Teresa Collins. I found the cute ruffled ribbon at our local scrapbook store. I'll do a little video tutorial on how to make the roses very soon, so keep checking back. I also have a Valentine's Day layout that I will post for you tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a comment on any of the Vibez posts below for a chance to win a bottle of my favorite color!
