#44 - Winter White

Welcome back to another new challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow.  This week we are calling our challenge WINTER WHITE.  We want you to make vintage or shabby chic cards in white.  You can use a focal image with a bit of colour but everything else must be white.

Once again we will be choosing one random winner who will receive a digi of our choice along with at winner's badge to display. The Design Team will also choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a winner's badge but will also be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

Renee has created another great tutorial for you so scroll down or click on the link on the sidebar to see what she is showing you this week.

Check out these wonderful cards that the designers have created for your inspiration.

Tutorial - Paper Rosette

Renee here and welcome to another tutorial.

My tutorial today will be teaching you how to make a rosette.

I've long admired projects that use a rosette on them and finally taught myself how to make them.

It's very easy and I think once you try it you'll want to use them on lots of your projects.

Step 1: Cut a strip of paper 12" x 2".  If you want a decorative edge then start your punch in the center.

 

Step 2: Cut the entire border

Step 3: Score every 1/4" or every 3/8".  I found those measurements work best and in this case I used 3/8" due to the pattern on my punch.

Step 4: Accordian fold on the score marks.

Step 5: Connect the ends (it will look a little like a cupcake paper) and punch a circle to bind it in the back. Place a glue dot, glue, or hot glue (works really well) on the circle.

Step 6: Fold the rosette flat and adhere the circle to the back.

Step 7: Turn over and use on your project.

To see how I have used this rosette, check out my card in this week's challenge.
