Rose Ball Topiary

I would like to share with you my latest projects these topiary style rose ball trees.











I used the Stampin Up Spiral Flower Die to make roughly 85 roses for each tree. Once these were made and shaped they were stuck on to a solid polystyrene ball size 120mm using a glue gun. A 12mm wide dowel was coloured with Early Expresso Ink and Alway Artichoke ink from Stampin Up then inserted into the polystyrene ball.  I used  10cm tall metal buckets in beige for both trees The trees were set into plaster  of  paris  casting powder, held whilst dry this took about 20 minutes to set I then decorated over the plaster with cream decorative gravel. Finished off making satin ribbon bows to match with the colours of the trees.
