The Bellaroma Hybrid Tea Rose is a beautiful flower. It’s unique feature is that it has two colors in one bloom! This month’s Build-A-Flower celebrates that unique quality. This set has one flower with four layers and a cluster of three leaves with three layers. What makes this stamp special is that the layers are created in such a way that they can be used to give contrasting colors to the flower, or you can choose to layer them with shades of the same color. Use your imagination as you try out different ink color combinations with the Bellaroma Hybrid Tea Rose.

The Build-A-Flower: Bellaroma Hybrid Tea Rose special edition stamp and die set is only sold as a bundle. It includes one 6″ x 8″ clear photopolymer stamp set (19) individual stamp images) and one coordinating die set (2 dies).

I created three cards for this release. My first two cards, I decided to go with a more neutral palette.

First I dry embossed my card panels – cream and chocolate brown using the Angled Mosaic Embossing folder. I swiped the cream panel with the Antique Gold pigment Ink pad to highlight the embossed pattern in the cream cardstock. This gave it a very interesting effect.

Next I stamped out the outline of the flowers and leaves on the same cream cardstock with Obsidian Ink. I skipped stamping that base layer for the flowers and leaves and just used the top layers. For the outside layer, I used Pastel Sunrise from the Martian Terrain ink cube set and Pale Mauve crisp dye ink from the Sugarplums ink cube set, respectively. For the middle of the flowers, I used Butternut from the Fall Harvest Ink cube set for both. The layer of the leaves is stamped with Marshland ink which is from the Nature’s Wonders ink cube set.

I glued both panels together carefully lining up the embossed design then cut it down to 8.75″X3.75″ to fit a 9″X4″ card base. I layered and glued on the elements on the panel creating some dimension with double sided foam tape. The sentiment “Hi” is from the Eucalyptus Jar stamp set, stamped with Obsidian Pigment Ink and die-cut with thr coordinating die. I finished it off with some shiny gold baubles.

My next card was not too difficult to put together. I took the same cream cardstock embossed with the Angled Mosaic Embossing folder and cut it down to 4″X5.25″. Then I splattered it with gold from the Metallic Watercolor Pan set. For the backdrop of the flower, I used the Burlap Texture die and die-cut it out of gold mirror cardstock. The flowers were stamped with Amethyst from the Sugarplums set for the outer layer and Pumpkin Pie from the Fall Harvest ink cube set and the leaves, Sea Forest from the Nature’s Wonders set.

Here is another card I made inspired by my mom’s blue and white plate collection. She has had this collection for as long as I can remember. I stamped the flower several times all over the card panel using Sapphire ink and then the details were stamped with a slightly lighter ink, Persian Blue from the Glacier Caves ink cube set.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I placed some silver embroidery floss before adhering the sentiment just to give it some added interest.
