Yesterday after I told you how much I loved roses and showed you how easy they were to make, I began thinking of ways to use them. They could be used in place of bows on gift wrap, on a card front, on the lid of a gift can or box. They would also make perfect place setting holders for the dining room table.
With that thought in mind, it occurred to me that I might have some great ideas just lurking around the corner in my china cabinet.
I have a full set of "Old Country Rose" dishes that I've been collecting since my husband and I married 40+ years ago that are used for special occasions. Here is one of the beautiful porcelain rose ornaments that I set on the table when I'm having a special tea or luncheon. Don't you just love the rich colours?
I was inspired to make a yellow rose using our regular "So Saffron" cardstock and Primrose Petals ink. Here's what I came up with:
From start to finish this rose took about 10 minutes to make and it was so much fun waiting to see what it would look like when assembled. Personally I love it and I hope you do too.
Happy stamping and creating and let me know whether you like this one or not.

I plan to make these beautiful roses for each place setting and add a decorative label with the guest's name on it. I know they're going to love this!
