Frosty Christmas

Good morning to you all

Today as you know I am showcasing some inspiration using those 

Wild Rose Studio

gorgeous products, I have used some of the older dies today creating this lovely mono Christmas Card.

Using

Die - Lacy Snowflake

This one is using white paper and Phil Martin's Cosmic Shimmer bundle, that I got from Doncaster Race Course, when I met and spoke to him.

The base layer is misted, the top layer is mica powders, the sentiment is embossing powder, one layer of the snow flake is gilded and the top layer is just white.

I added some of his pva pearl dots to the corners before adding a brad in the middle of the snowflakes, a little rose, a bow and a charm.  Love how this one turned out.

Christmas Bird House

Good morning to you all

Back to my normal Wednesday posting and something a little different for my inspiration for

Wild Rose Studio

I went with something Christmas and created a Christmas Bird house

I have used some of the older dies for this creation

Dies - Little Frosted Butterfly, Holly Flourish, Snow Flourish and on the reverse Snow Flurry

The silhouette cameo was used to cut out this file which is available from the online store.

I cut it out in red pearlescent card stock and the lid in the white hammer card stock. After putting it together all I had to do was decorate it.

With lots of dies, pearls, flowers and glitter and I love how it turned out.
