Cute CAS Christmas

Good morning to you

just thought I would share another of  my 

Wild Rose Studio

cards that I have made for his mum

I went with some unusual colours on this one

The image is

Antoine with Dog

The base layer is turquoise.  The Sentiment is one of my new ones from a win at the Stamp Man (thank you)  The bling is from Grimsby Crafts, I have sadly run out of my turquoise Hobby House Rhinestones, maybe another visit and stock up is needed :) anything for an excuse................... but these rhinestones are on that plastic runner and although it works well on the circle it does not work so well on a CAS white card on the strips :( won't try that one again.

here is a close up showing the stickles glitter added and the copic colouring

I am still thanking you all for your lovely comments, visits and kind words,

with my first

All Loverly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning to you

Back to my normal inspiration day for

Wild Rose Studio 

and a reminder of that 

New Release Candy

I have used one of the fabulous panels, as I am making some quick makes for his mum's stall.

The panel set is called

Xmas Bella

These panels are fabulous for such quick makes

The base layer on this one is silver mirror card and the papers are some gorgeous glitter lilac's from a stack I got a Grimsby Crafts.  I cut the panel into a round with my spellbinder small circles and framed it with the scallop circle.  I added an MS snowflake double punched edge and rapped some gorgeous ribbon from Crafty Ribbons around this.  I then made a triple bow and placed this on top, all before finishing off with my favourite Hobby House Embellies, those pearls, charms, rhinestone sparkler and a small white poinsettia flower.  The link the Hobby House is in my sidebar.

Here is a close up of the panel, you get 8 coloured panels 2 each of four designs and 4 blank panels one of each for you to colour.  

So that reminder

the first candy with lots more to follow.

It's Another Frosty Morning.......................

Good morning to you

Starting the week off with a little 

Wild Rose Studio

and a little apology for not posting as frequently as I would like to - but then that is all now going to change.  As I have a new lady starting at work and his mum's fair is next weekend, so if I have not done it now, it more than likely won't get done.

So here is one of my quick makes for his mum

The base layer is turquoise and the image has been stamped straight onto my top layer which is 250 gsm, my new copic card-stock it is gorgeous and really makes the colours pop.

I added some little red rhinestones from the Hobby House

I added the sentiment a new one from my Stamp Man winnings :)

The image is

Building a Snowman

here is a close up showing the stickles glitter added and the copic colouring

I am still thanking you all for your lovely comments, visits and kind words,

Your Just my cup of Tea

Good morning to you

Today is my day to inspire you to enter our current challenge at the

Hobby House

where the theme is 

Pearls

So here is my creation

I made a generic card

The base layer is a dusky pink and the papers from one of my old pads sorry cannot remember the name of it.  Then I have used the grand decorative nestie to surround the die cut topper, and a Go Kreate die to create the shape of the card, all before getting carried away again with those gorgeous 

Hobby House embellishments.

Hobby House Mo Manning Topper Cupcake Girls

Pearl Strings

Pearls

Pearl flourishes

Rhinestone sparkler

Hobby House Roses

(the sentiment is from SSS and sits on a spellbinder ribbon/banner)

Cute Christmas and Candy

Good morning to you

I am a day early with my inspirational post for

Wild Rose Studio 

but then I have a lovely reason to be, you see I have some

New Release Candy

for you too, but before we get to that here is my weekly inspirational piece

I have used one of the New Release panels, as I am making some quick makes for his mum's stall.

The panel set is called

Bluebell at Christmas

These panels are fabulous for such quick makes

Just look at the tree shadow gorgeous :)

I used some of my old papers again as they matched the image colours so beautifully.  I used a base colour of navy blue and used this as the contrast also.  The ribbon is from my stash as is the snowball and the charm and silver pearls are from the Hobby House.  

The sentiment is from the

Bluebell in Love image

Here is a close up of the panel, you get 8 coloured panels 2 each of four designs and 4 blank panels one of each for you to colour.  On this panel I added some glossy accents on the berries and some glitter on the tree.

Now as I mentioned and as a thank you to all of my followers and especially those that I encourage to buy more of those Wild Rose Studio products each time there is a new release, here is that candy.

I have several candies coming up and to give more chances I am running these as small candies

You see the MIL wants to sell some of my altered bottles and tins at her village fete, there has been a call for them, so here is one in a vintage style that is going to her.

This is the front using a House Mouse image a drinking one as the wine bottle will be inside the box.  I used the nestie decorative oval and then used some of my stash of white flowers and airbrushed them matching the shades of the paper I chose.  I then distressed with Pan Pastels before adding some stickles to them.

The back with an appropriate sentiment and an airbrushed Hobby House Flourish, I also airbrushed some snow white pearls and used these on the top of the bottle holder.

A close up of the flowers
