A (SERVIETTE) ROSE CARD

Recently I came across some beautiful rose printed paper serviettes and saw their potential – I didn’t quite know what – but I bought them anyway….

Yesterday, the inspiration came to me and this is what I made:

Once the serviette was pasted onto pink cardstock, I fussy cut them, added some white pen detailing and Stickles, and then cut them apart.   I rearranged them on pink cardstock on which I had printed a musical theme digital image.

The embellishments were kept to a minimum – just two sets of three matching pearly pink sequins.

I think I like the finished look.
