Altenew Academy Paper Crafting and Beyond Class Homework 2

Hi,

I am back with another Altenew on-line class homework.  This time our objective is to create paper rosette(s) for a project of choice. 

I believe this is the very first time I make a rosette.  So I was eager to try, but I was stumped for a few days because I am not sure what to do with it.  Then I saw on my desk the Altenew Book Club stamp and die and an idea sparked.  :)

I made a mini rosette to go in the middle of the Book Club stamp image, and this piece will be use to decorate my journal cover.

I stamp and heat emboss the Book Club stamp with Brass EP on watercolor paper, then watercolored it.  Once it dries, I'd die cut it with the matching die.  

In the mean time, I worked on my rosette.  The diameter of the circle is 2 inches, so I thought I'd use a one inch wide strip of paper to fold.  At first I didn't want the rosette to be too thick so I score at 1/8 of an inch.  Well that didn't work too well, first of all it was very hard to fold, and second the result is too large (forgot that we need space in the middle).  So I started over but this time I went with 3/4 inch wide paper and fold at 1/4 inch instead.

The piece on the right hand side is the one I used and adhere to my Book Club image piece.  I glued a little flower die cut from the Layered Floral Element Dies set in the middle and added the embossed year, embellished with a few sequins.

I am quite pleasde how it turned out!!  The rosette fitted perfectly!
