I had made this card a few months ago and its time to share again, something that has helped inspire me. So here we go with a new tutorial and fresh inspiration.
You'll need a round scallop punch or scallop nesties will work too
2 shades of coloured card
tweezers or a large quilling type tool
Now to create the rolled rose hold them together and cut a swirl leaving a small circle in the center...much like the cool swirly snakes you made in school that you hung up everywhere.
To roll the rose i used a large needle with the eye cut off the top and glued into a wooden dowel ( i use this for quilling). Or you could use long nosed tweezers. Place this over the end tip and start to roll around
Roll the whole length and take rose off the needle now let the rose spring open and glue the ends down when you're happy with the size and shape. You can also bend down some of the petals. When gluing to your card cover all the base with a strong glue and add your leaves, I also added some glitter to the petals. A very quick and simple way to do a rose.
Well i hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and i can see this being used in many different cards using different size scallop circles. take care......pop over to my blog and see the new video tutorial http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-first-online-video-tutorial-rolled.html

Brayered background
Hi all, Cuchy here.
My friend Noe gave me yesterday a new brayer and I couldn't wait to start playing with it.
I made a new ATC using my fave background technique with bubble wrap.
I started with a few drops of acrylic paint in a white cardstock.
Then start to spread the paint with the brayer in different directions

Continue adding drops of paint and spreading them with the brayer until the cardstock is completely covered.
Cover the brayer with bubble wrap (bubbles outside) and pour some paint in a palette.
I used a plastic lid and white colour.

Cover the bubbles with the paint.
The quicker you roll the brayer, the thinner will be the print.
I cut the cardstock to ATC size.
Ebellish as desired.
This is my final result. Hope you like it.
