Such a Sweetie

Good morning to you

Today is my day over at the

Crafty Ribbons Inspirational Blog

to Inspire you

So a while ago I had played and coloured up this gorgeous image to match some of my newer papers so created a card for my sale's box with them

I made a birthday card, using a pre made base card

The base colour is cream and I used some those gorgeous spots and stripes for the layers.  I used the large oval MFT pierced die and then a grand scallop oval to frame it.  The image plate was decorated with distress inked Card-io Majestix stamps such a pretty look, I thought any way.  I added some pretty lace a band of string pearls (from the Hobby House).  A Wild Rose Studio sentiment.  The flowers from Clickit4Crafts, the Joy Butterfly die. I added a cream floral cameo and aura rhinestones from the Hobby House, before adding my usual gorgeous bow.

All shop links are in the page above

The ribbon for this bow is called

15mm Wired Chantelle Pink

This allows you to create the loops and the tails exactly as you want them, okay it does what you want it too, which sometimes ribbons just don't do, never mind how much persuading you do.

Here is a close up of the copic coloured image

Isn't she lovely :)

I would like to take a moment to say hello to all my new followers and thank all of my visitors for their wonderful comments, which allows me to hop over and visit you in return.

All Fluffy and soft

Good morning to you all

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, yesterday I was painting again, this time with the top coat, getting there and looking great, so cannot wait for it to be finished.

Anyway today I thought I would share a Xmas card I made a while ago but have not posted it as yet, I sort of forgot it, shame on me................ so here it is

white fun flock for her cloud, love the depth it gives

The base layer is cream as is the contrast and the papers are from my stash, one might be Kanban.  The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and pleated down the edge.

The flowers are Hobby House except the stamens which are from my stash and those little Rhinestone sparkles peaking out and the red pearls are of course from the Hobby House

see the page above for where I shop.

Here is a close up of the image using that gorgeous topper and adding some liquid applique and some fun flock for the cloud.

A warm welcome to my new followers, and I would like to thank all of my wonderful visitors who take the time to leave me such inspirational and kind comments, and this then allows me to hop on over and visit you in return.

Hanging Around with Wild Rose Studio

Good morning to you all

I have some more of those

Dies and Papers

from the New Release at

Wild Rose Studio

along with the new release image too

So Using

Dies - Snow Frame and Frosty Corner (New Release)

Papers - Frosted Lace (New Release)

Image - Mouse on Bauble (New Release)

Sentiment - Christmas Labels

Again I went a little wild with the glitter

The base layer and contrast is pink picking up those gorgeous holly pink papers, I adore these new teal papers too.  Anyway I layered up my layers wrapped my ribbon around, raised the image with its lovely die surround.  Added the Frosty corner die and then topped this with the snowflakes in the background papers.  I glittered all my dies up and added rhinestones nearly everywhere I could before adding the charm and tiny pink pearl medallion and the sentiment. All embellishments except the pearl medallion are from the Hobby House.

See the page above for those links.

The image has been coloured with copics, with beads of stickles for the furry bits. 

Now I have been asked a few times how I get my fluffy bits to look so raised and sparkly, so for those that have asked, I asked Matt to video me adding the stickles to this image, so if you are interested you can find the tutorial 

here

and it would not be fair not to show a close up of the Frosty Corner Die so here you are

A warm welcome to my new followers, and I would like to thank all of my wonderful visitors who take the time to leave me such inspirational and kind comments, and this then allows me to hop on over and visit you in return.

Wild Rose Studio New Release to Die for !!

Good morning to you all

I have been dying to share this lovely creation with you all, showcasing not only those new images but those new

Dies and Papers

from the New Release at

Wild Rose Studio

oh my the dies are heavenly, so pretty and the die cuts just hop out on their own :)

So Using

Dies - Snow Frame and Lacy Snowflake (New Release)

Papers - Frosted Lace (New Release)

Image - Girl with Xmas Presents (New Release)

Sentiment - Christmas Labels

I made a very glittery Christmas card.

The base layer is a lovely soft blue.  I layered up those gorgeous new papers before adding the Lacy Snowflake that I had glittered up.  I cut out the image using the MFT rectangle pierced die (the next one down from the largest as this is a perfect fit for the new Snow Frame)  I cut out the Snow Frame in white card distressed it and glittered this up too.  I added a band of ribbon around the base layers and added a triple bow.  I hung a snowflake from a jump ring with some chain from the centre of the Lacy Snowflake and placed the sentiment on top after distressing the edges on this too.  The embellishments added are: pearls, fancy rhinestone button, ribbon and charm from the Hobby House and the pink poinsettia from my stash.

See the page above for those links.

The image has been coloured with copics, with beads of stickles for her furry bits and a dot on the centre of the poinsettia. You can see that gorgeous die frame in this shot.

and it would not be fair not to show a close up of the lacy snowflake so here it is

so very pretty and delicate

Good morning to you all, hope you had a lovely weekend.  

We had a massive storm on Saturday, Matt was fishing and got nothing and by nothing I mean no rain, as he got 60lbs of fish, I was painting in the kitchen and it went on for an absolute age, Star my dog was not impressed. Sunday after shopping more painting, but at least we are getting there and it will look fabulous when it is done.  

Now why am I rambling on may you ask, well probably to tell you that I am not posting a daily 

Wild Rose Studio

New Release

So I wonder what I have for you today, I was asked to make some leaving cards for my lovely boss and I to give to our team that were leaving.  I had one evening to do them in, so went CAS and used some of my Summer Crafting purchases.

It was like a production line but got them all done.  Here is a close up

Girl and Snowman Wild Rose Studio New Release

Good morning to you all

It is day three of those 

New Releases 

from 

Wild Rose Studio 

and today I am introducing you to Girl and Snowman

So Using

Image - Girl and Snowman

Papers - Festive Wishes and Wintry Christmas

Sentiment - Christmas Labels

I do love mirror card but hate it when the piece has a curl in it, this one is now sat under a heavy book to flatten it, poor Mr Snowman.

So the base colour and contrast on this one is silver.  I used those wonderful polka dot papers from the Wintry Christmas paper stack to compliment with the festive wishes label ones.  I added one beautiful triple bow made from that gorgeous wired silver ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, before adding a little pink rose and some pink pearls, I added some turquoise rhinestones and all of these are from the Hobby House.

You can find all my shop links in the page above.

Here is a close up of the sweet image on this occasion coloured with copics, I added some star dust,  and frosted lace stickles for that Christmas feel and bow does Mr Snowman sparkle made me feel quite chilly while the storm was shouting over my craft room roof.  I was asked the other day how did I get the raised furry glitter.  It is just the stickles but lots of to create the curves and left to dry a long time.
