Winter Wonderland - Wild Rose Studio DT and Candy Reminder

Good morning to you all

and a Happy Christmas too

Getting a little frosty now so hope you are all warm and well

Today is my day for showcase for you a

Wild Rose Studio 

Creation, and today's is an extra special one as this card I made for a very good blogging friend.  I know that she has received her card as in my haste to get it posted to her I forgot to photograph it, but as she is so very kind, she sent me a photo :) thank you hun x

So here it is

 

I used one of those gorgeous from the Annabelle and Antoine 2013 collection 

This one is called

Antoine and Annabelle

It is one of those images that you love to colour up, although I do love to colour all of the Wild Rose Studio images as most of you know.

I used white as the contrast and the lovely aqua to pick up her dress and his hat and jacket.  I used some really old papers the one that I have made a circle out of had a fabulous design on it.  I added lots of die cuts from Memory Box, Magnolia and Marianne Designs and my good old decorative nesties.  Then the ribbon from stash, before adding some gorgeous white flowers from Wild Orchid and the pearl medallion and rhinestone sparklers from the Hobby House. Finishing off with lots of stickles glitter.

Here is a close up of the image coloured in copics.

I cut the images out to showcase the papers behind.

I would like to apologise for not getting around to commenting over the last few days.  Yesterday I was Mrs Santa at work so you can imagine life is a little hectic at the moment but I will catch up again soon, promise.

I still have my candy running for those lovely new

Bella for Christmas and a last Candy Opportunity

Good morning to you all

I hope that you are all keeping safe and warm and are getting into the Holiday spirit, I am :)  I have two more Xmas cards to make and one order, the order I hope to make on my new Xmas present, will see how that goes. So today I here with my weekly inspiration from 

Wild Rose Studio

Here is one of the wife cards that I made for my husbands work mates, I have used one of my favourite stamps, however I am now struggling to choose a favourite as I love all the WRS stamps.

I have used today

Starry Night

from the 

Xmas Bella Collection

I made a 15 cm square card.

The base colour and contrast is that deep red again and this time the pale holly papers allow the image to really pop from the page.  I added a complimenting punched panel to wrap that gorgeous spotty ribbon around and added my triple bow.

The ribbon, silver pearls, pearl medallion, stickles and charm are all from the Hobby House, the link is in my sidebar.

The punched edge is an MS holly one.

and as always

here is the close up of the sweet image coloured in copics with added stickles and an Atyou glitter pen for the stars.

So cute right.............
