Etched Lenten Roses with Spellbinders

 




Hello!  I have some gorgeous blossoms today using the Spellbinders Betterpress System and the pretty Betterpress plate that comes in the kit.  For me the more detailed a flower, the better, and these are just gorgeous!  I pressed them twice onto the cotton cardstock in the kit and then carefully cut around the flowers to create a top and bottom floral frame.  




I’ve used some creative liscence for the flowers, but lenten roses or hellebore (as I imagine these are) really do have unique colours to them.  Coloured up with Copics and layered over a lilac card panel which I pressed the sentiment into.  I smooshed some ink on the panel to add some texture in the purple.  As a Canadian - I’m so appreciative of the Canadian spelling of favourite!  




To accent I’ve added some pretty clear dew drops, like it just rained.  It’s such a pretty arrangement of flowers!
