Rosemaling

Recently I purchased a set of stamps that represents the art of Rosemaling, a style of colorful Norwegian decorative painting. I was eager to use the stamp so decided to use it for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge #252 (PPA252).

A  piece of dotted DSP was adhered to the card base. Then a piece of gray cardstock was stamped and clear embossed with a decorative stamp. In addition, embossing powder was sprinkled onto the cardstock while it was warm from the heat gun and heat embossed to provide texture. The gray cardstock was backed with craft foam to pop it up and adhered to the DSP.

The flowers were stamped and decorative trim was stamped across the top and bottom of each flower. The flowers were heat embossed with clear powder to make them glossy. The flowers were fussy cut as one piece and backed with craft foam to lift it off of the gray cardstock. A sentiment was stamped on pale pink vellum and adhered across the center of the card. The inside of the card was decorated with a small decorative image.
