When my mum was alive, she often made rosettes for my dad’s friends to wear to the football match, especially if Liverpool were playing a big game. She would hand-stitch satin ribbon to circles of cardboard and add ribbon tails.
Her rosettes were absolutely brilliant, everybody wanted one, and she must’ve made hundreds over the years!
I took inspiration from my mum’s rosettes for the centre piece of this Father’s Day card ……
I used sticky strip to attach the ribbon instead of stitching, but I think the effect was very similar.
I mounted the rosette onto a “shield” made from the top note die that had been embossed with the square lattice folder.
I just love this effect!
Thanks for dropping by today
