so onto that new release

Wild Rose Studio

Love and Wedding 2014

Did you pop over and see the new revamped website?  Hope so.

but if you did not here they are just to temp you again

The first image our gorgeous Elsie and those sentiments

 and the second image containing the most amazing Wedding, Valentine, Love, Anniversary or with those fireworks New Year or even just travel and Paris...........................
Paris in the Spring

I know delish!!!!!!!!! too many choices

So today I bring you

Elsie with Heart

using the new Sentiment from the 

Romantic Greetings set

and as this release does not come with papers, I have chosen to match this one with 

Blackberry Lane Papers

but so many of the paper packs would work equally as well

I made a valentine card

The base colour and contrast is a deep green to pick up the greens on the papers.  I used the decorative grand circle nestie and it's matching plain circle.  I used some gorgeous lace to frame the simple square cut image before adding ribbon in a triple bow, a double heart charm, that gorgeous large pearl medallion and the sweet little roses.  All embellishments are from the Hobby House (the link is in my sidebar)

The sentiment and it's beautiful decorative surround has again been cut with my cameo :)

The close up of Elsie coloured in copics with a little frosted lace stickles on the rose and the glossy accents on the heart.

and just because I loved how the cameo cut out this sentiment

A close up of this with the distressed pink edges

and of course that delicate cut.

 

As you cannot see all the embellies really well thought I would do a little close up of them too

 well just because I could and to hold you off a little longer before I introduce you to the

Wild Rose Studio New Release - Love and Wedding 2014

fabulous products, and if you have not already spotted them on the new revamped website, then do pop over on the link above

The first image our gorgeous Elsie and those sentiments

 and the second image containing the most amazing Wedding, Valentine, Love, Anniversary or with those fireworks New Year or even just travel and Paris...........................

Aren't they just WOW!!!!

You may have already seen some beautiful posts from the other members of the Design Team and if you need to find where they are you can find all the Design Team details here

So as you can imagine, it was so difficult to choose a starting image and sentiment for you, so here is one of many of my daily new release posts to introduce you to them all in turn.

I start off with 

Elsie with Roses

using the new Sentiment from the 

Romantic Greetings set

and as this release does not come with papers, I have chosen to match this one with 

Annabelle's Meadow Paper Pack

although the 

Always and Forever and the Letters from Paris sets would equally work well.

I made a generic card, sent with love, it would suit so many occasions don't you think?

 

The base colour and contrast is a very pale green, using the floral meadow paper from the pack to pick up the pinks on the roses and the green on the foliage.  I added some pearl strings around the distress edged image plate and threaded some tiny ribbon through the new PATP before adding some roses and little punched leaves.  All embellishments are from the Hobby House (the link is in my sidebar)

The sentiment and it's beautiful decorative surround is my first stamp and cut using my cameo :) love the perfection on the cut, how did I ever manage without my cameo?

The close up of Elsie coloured in copics with a little frosted lace stickles on the roses

and just because I loved how the cameo cut out this sentiment

A close up of this with the distressed pink edges

and of course that delicate cut.

A Blast from the Past

Good morning to you all

Today I would like to share with you some old and new.  I was asked if I could make an 

Anniversary Card for a Wife.  

Not a problem, so I e mailed my Pinterest link for these over.

Not expecting what the order came back as and this was the choice. 

So here is a card I made within the first few months of card making.  I had to score the embossed squares myself and used a peel off for the sentiment, as at that time I did not have the large selection I have now.  All the flowers were from either the Hobby House, Hobby Craft or the local cheap shop.  The pearls from the Hobby House.  My photography was on an old camera and without my day light lamp. This one was a 15cm square card and think it was pearlescent cream.

Anyway so I had to case my own card, so here is my revamped new card for the order.

Slightly different :)

This is an 8" square so needed some strength to hold the flowers and still stand nicely.  So I layered up onto a white base a layer of burgundy then a layer of white and then another layer of burgundy before adding my embossed top sheet.  This embossed sheet if from my new M-Bossabilities folder that I got from the Hobby House, went with the fancy choice out of the two. 

Tip: if you bought an original grand callibur and you bought one of these folders, due to the white paper guide it will not fit, however a pair of strong scissors will cut it neatly so you still can use it.

I added an MSE sentiment and layered this on the burgundy and raised this with foam pads, before starting on adding all of those little pearls from the Hobby House.  I added several flowers the burgundy mulberry roses from the Hobby House the leaves are a woodware punch the lillies are from I am Roses and the gem's and some of the other little fill in flowers are from the cheap shop.  I added a Hobby House charm to finish off.

He loved it and I am sure it will be another one for his wife to store, so I placed it in a clear fronted box, so she can store it safely.

So all that is left to say is thank you to all my wonderful visitors and followers for your kind words, which allow me to visit you in return.

Good morning to you all in the land of blog

Today sees the next challenge at the

Winter Wonderland

Fashion

and our wonderful sponsor is

Crafters Companion

who are offering a £10 voucher

Here is my design team inspirational piece, but don't forget to hop on over and see what the rest of the amazing team have created to inspire you.

I just wanted to colour in copics this amazing Julie Nutting stamp, so I made a birthday card for a very good friend. I also borrowed the stamp from my other crafting friend Polly, thanks hun.

I used my fancy grand nestie ovals to create this oval easel and made sure the image or bottom of the skirt was used to be the easel hold.  I edged all the ovals with TH Tattered Rose DI and then added a string of pearls, some tiny pink pearls and some tiny tiny rhinestones along with a lovely sentiment and some roses and greenery.  Everything on this card except the image and sentiment and dies can be purchased from the  Hobby House

Here is a close up of the image coloured in copics
