'Pearlized' Roses Card

I am the ROSE of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

Welcome to Digi Desserts Fridaze in connection with My Paper Crafting !    We, on the Design Team, are to create a project using a Digital File from the vast selection at MyPaperCrafting.com every Friday, share them with You and encourage You to visit over there, get the FREE Digi File for today, make a project with it and link it for all to see.  The ‘winning’ designer is highlighted next week as a Guest Designer!   It’s an easy and fun thing to do on the weekend! 

For this week’s project I have made a card using the ‘Roses Double ds’.  Here is my card –

*  I put the original file into my Free program, ‘Perfect Effects Free,’ and did a couple of Actions on it.  I changed the color first in Sepia Toner - (making it in Grays and Browns) -

-  and then changed the ‘texture-look’ of the Digi with another Action - Earth - (giving  it a mottled look) -

*   Easy!  I printed it on white cardstock and fussy-cut out the Digi.  I hand embossed it on the back side, following the lines from the front and inked the edges with Charcoal ink.  

      (You can see several other options I did in this previous post -

           Altered Shadowbox Write-on Frame and Card )

*  Using an Oval-nested Coluzzle, I cut an oval from a piece of light Gray cardstock.  I embossed it in a 4-cornered design folder.  I gently inked over the raised areas with Charcoal ink.

*  I cut an oval from medium Brown cardstock and adhered in under the Gray oval.

*  I adhered the Gray cardstock to a Kraft cardstock card, raising it up with PopDots at various places.  I adhered the Roses with PopDots, also, giving the card dimension and depth.  The card folds at the top, so it could stand on its own.

*  I added Pearl Gems to the ‘dots’ on all 4 sides and Brown Gems to the centers of the Roses.

*  I didn’t add a Sentiment, so it could be used for a variety of occasions, but one could be added in the bottom left corner.

Here is the original file I used –
