Hi
there,
It’s Karen, sharing this little
Painted Bella Rose Album Cover created with the Bella Rose Embossing Folder and
the Cut N Boss machine. I absolutely loved this project. Coloring is always therapeutic for me, so
when I began this project, I knew that I wanted to dry emboss a full sheet of
watercolor paper to work with. I chose
the “Bella Rose” embossing folder because of the full flowers in the pattern.
The full flowers are very forgiving when they are painted, and the size of each
rose is simply fun. I really loved the end result. I added some crinkled ribbon,
scripted words, pearl pins, rose button and gesso. The Painted Bella Rose Album
Cover measures 5 ¼ x 6 ½. Take a peek at my tutorial below.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope that this Painted Bella Rose Album Cover has inspired you
to paint your embossed roses and incorporate them into your projects.
