Blue glittery roses for Christmas & a sneekpeek

I've made my first Christmas card of the year, and wanted to share it with you!

The card is made in all blue and white, and I've used several beautful roses from

 Wild Orchid Crafts to embellish it!

I've used Wild Orchid Crafts - Hybrid Tea Roses 25 mm (babyblue), Paper Roses 10mm & 15 mm (navyblue, babyblue, cornflower & grey/navyblue), white Poinsettias (sneekpeek - cooming soon) & Pearl Spray to embellish the card - all springled with geourgeous glass glitter

 to make them sparkle.

The image (and text) from Lili of the Valley's new Christmas People Collection 2010 (launched today), are stamped on aquarellpaper and coloured with Distress Inks. Some of the details have also got a springle of glass glitter. The papers are from Maja Designs Christmas Collection from last year, and the rhinestones are from Kort & Godt. The beautiful "frame" around the image, is created with Marianne Design - CreaTables LR 0112 (Bunny Zoe's Crafts) and Spellbinders - Nesting Classic & Petite Circles.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great day!

They add so much to your creations!

Altered Poinsettias

Today I have a card to share using the new poinsettias that I have altered.

I went mad with the Twinklets on the new poinsettias from Wild Orchid Crafts.  First I pulled the flowers to bits (as you do lol) then applied the Twinklets with Glossy Accents to each layer then put them back together again with pearl brads and gold spacers (that I got off Ebay probably about 2 years ago.)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Roses for the Winter

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a fabulous week! I have a Christmas Card for you today. For all of you flower lovers, don’t be saddened by the Winter months quickly approaching. All you need is a little white sparkly fluff, and you can use roses on ANY and EVERY Christmas card. Just line your flower in some glue I use Tombo Mono Glue, and then dip your roses in the sparkly fluff. You will have some flocked roses. Have a lovely week! I used BABY PINK MULBERRY PAPER OPEN ROSES 25MM, BABY PINK MULBERRY PAPER OPEN ROSES - 15mm Hugs, Mindy

Gorgeous new lace

Hello everyone, this is just a very quick post to show you the sublime new Guipure lace that is now in stock at Wild Orchid Crafts.  When I saw it I sat and stared at it for ages, I was really brave to use it lol.

I have used Classic Sweet Roses, 20mm roses, 15mm roses.  Here’s a closer look at that yummilicious lace!!

Pink for Her and Blue for Him!

Hi Friends~ YAY it's Friday!  Woo-Hoo!!!  I hope you all have some fun plans for the weekend...in the states we will be celebrating Independence Day this weekend....which means fireworks, parades, cook outs, family, and friends....I'm so excited!!!  I wish you all a wonderful week and what better way to start the weekend then with some flower fun!!!

I've made an easel card and decided to have a his side and her side of the card, which is the reason for the "pink collection for flowers" which are for her and then the "blue collection of flowers" which are for him!

The papers I've used are from the Basic Grey Cappella Collection.  Oh my word do I love these beautiful papers in here....I had to cringe when I cut into them!

For the pink collection I've used a NEW Champagne Pink Classic Sweet Rose, 15mm roses, and 4mm closed rosebuds.  These have all been sparkled up with star dust stickles.  Behind the flowers are some lace...of course I didn't have a cream color lace I wanted...and then I had an AH HA Moment and remembered I have Glimmer Mist!  So I took my Bronze Glimmer Mist and tinted the lace to look more vintage!

Then there is the blue flower collection!  I've used Cream Cherry Blossoms (which have been spritzed with the same Glimmer Mist as the lace), 10mm roses, Gypsophlia flower, and clear Crystal Heart steams.  All these flowers too have been sparklized with star dust stickles.  I hope you have enjoyed my flower inspiration....Happy Weekend to Everyone!
