Your roses are lovely chic! The card is so pretty too. Maybe a hot glue gun would help with the roses, I use one for all my "difficult sticking problems including flowers" just be careful you don't replace the sticky fingers with burnt ones lol - have a great Easter sweetie xxcaraxx
Hi Coops, if mine look as good as this l will be happy, l got the bitsy spellbinder shapeabilatie thingy this week and had a go the other night and OMW they are so faffy but l will persevere. Take care x Susan x
They are so pretty coops and you've made a stunning card. Gorgeous colour combo and love the glitz. Mnnn might have to give these a bash. Looks like I'd have to have a wee spend first lol! Carolxx

Hi ya Nic - well I think this is just beautiful! Gorgeous colours and love your flowers.
I've got one of those dies - used it once or twice and gave up. I can't get it to look like a proper rose at all - it just looks like what it is, rolled up paper! Nothing at all like yours, which are gorgeous!!
Hope you have a nice week off.

Your card is gorgeous and those roses look perfect to me, great job.
Becky x

Wow, what a elegant card Nic. It's lovely. I think your roses look perfect.
I do know how frustrating it is when making your own flowers, we are far too critical.
I am also watching Benidorm Lol, think it's the last one tonight !

Hi Coops, so sorry Ive been MIA lately but all is explained in my blog! Major Spring Cleanathon which seems to be going on forever and stick isn't finished! lol. I think your roses are really beautiful. Did you see my video on how to make the Peace Rose similar to your flowers? My only advice for keeping them together is hot glue. It really is the only way that Ive found they hold their shape pretty much immediately unless you are patient enough to use the other glues and use paper clips the hold the bud together....me? Im not so patient so hot glue it is, lol. You just need to be careful you dont burn yourself but my fingers are pretty hardy now to the hot glue.....theyve been burned so much that Im used to it now! Also the hot glue hardens when cold which actually gives the flowers great stability also. But considering all the glue you had to wash off your hands, I think your flowers are beautiful. Stunning card. Lee xx
Wow! the roses are Awesome Coops!! you should be well proud! they are stunning! I love the whole card - the embossing and those delish colours are so soft and subtle - it's perfect! :-))
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Big Hugs

well coops - i for one think they are totally bodacious-mine look like crud compared to yours-lol-and its a fab card - kym xx
The roses are really stunning- I would love to have half your talent (so far I think I just share the talent at getting glue all over my fingers!!)
Aww coops they turned out lovely after all that 'gluing' know what you mean tho, sometimes nothing will stick. hugs heid x
stunning flowers, and a beautiful card
Tilly
lovely card coops those flowers are stunning, the look super and love the pastel colours. Aud x
Oh my goodness! These are beautiful! Your flowers look amazing, and they are offset by a perfect background too
I love making my own blooms, but would not attempt it without 2 things:
1. Brads if they are flower dies with holes in the middle.
2. Glue gun - instant, strong and easy to apply. You only have to hold in place for about 3 seconds and its done. Cheapest glue guns about £5 and glue sticks about 1.50 a pack - changed the way I make my boxes too ;)
HTH

Beautiful roses and love the shading and embossing too. Fab card.
