Sites of the week

Betcha never thought I would make a {cabbage} rose and pop it on a Halloween project! I didn’t think I would either, to be quite honest! This week’s TCP Tuesday challenge is hosted by Julie Masse and she wants to see what everyone can do with cabbage roses made from the beautiful seam binding ribbon from The Cat’s Pajamas {if you don’t have any yet, use whatever ribbon you have available}.

So I sat down and watched the how-to video that Alma did HERE and gave it a go. I used large sticky dots that I purchased from Jody HERE, but I am definitely going to be getting some of that fabby glue that Alma is using in the video! This is what I came up with…

I cut the top of the small black bag with the Pinking Border CutUps die to make it look a little more Halloween-y. The clothespin is covered in orange and white polka dot paper and then I added the cabbage rose on top of another black felt Sunflower Rosette. It just wasn’t quite spooky or bling-y enough for me, so I added the bat covered in black Stickles and some black rhinestones. The sentiment and fun bat image is from the set, Fright Night {which is only $9.50 now - originally $18!}.

Here’s a couple of detail shots…

Have an idea for how you want to use a cabbage rose? Play along with us! All of the challenge {and prize!} details can be found HERE on Alma’s blog.
