Thinking of You

I've been wanting to learn how to make rosettes, mostly because I love them but I'm too cheap to buy the name brand ones.  I looked at a few different tutorials and tried quite a few times, but I think I might have the hang of it now.  For the rosette on this A2 sized card, I used a strip of paper that was 3/4 inch by 12 inches.  I scored the paper every quarter inch going down the 12 inches and accordion folded it.  Then I adhered the two ends together, and popped it on it's side.  The back has a scrap of paper that I adhered on with Glossy Accents, and then I put the button on the same way.  I put the rosette in the middle of four spice jars that I use for buttons, and then put the Glossy Accents on top of the button.  I left it like that the rest of the time that I was making the card, and it's super sturdy now.

My card base is white, with the turquoise adhered on the top and a strip of red cardstock across the bottom of the turquoise.  I had a really clear picture of how I wanted this to look in my mind.  I was so disappointed to realize that I had no red and turquoise paper for the bottom half, so I made my own design with some Cricut cuts.  The swirls on the bottom half are from Sweethearts at various sizes.  I had to make a few adjustments and cut off some parts of the swirl when they ripped a little.

The tag is also from Sweethearts, with the shadow feature cut in red.  I used red Doodlebug ink to stamp the sentiment, which is from Pink by Design's Scripted Year.
