Roses for Remembrance - PPA43

This week's Pals Paper Arts challenge is a Memorial Day theme challenge.  When I think of Memorial Day, I think red, white, and blue - and roses for remembrance.  I've had Julie Wiliams' blog tutorial for making paper roses bookmarked for a long time and thought making a paper rose for this challenge would be perfect!  You can find Julie's tutorial on her blog here.

I also successfully created a "stay put bow", and I love how easy it is once you get it right!  You can find the video for the "stay put bow" here.

A couple more things to point out on this card - I used the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch to create the leaves for the rose.  I also sponged the edges of the rose petals as well as the Whisper White layer with Real Red classic ink.

Thanks for visiting today!
