Rosie

My latest DT project for Creative Expressions is a card using Sam Poole's Butterfly Girl and Bubble Wrap stamp sets, I also used Sam Poole's Art Phrases.

I edged a white card blank with victorian velvet and aged mahogany Distress inks. For the background I inked the rose stamp with two shades of pink Whispers felt tips and stamped it over some white card, then I stamped the bubblewrap with victorian velvet and peeled paint Distress ink. I coloured enough card to stamp the butterfly girl and cut out her dress. I stamped the girl onto some white card and masked her so that I could stamp the dots then I edged the card with victorian velvet and aged mahogany. I coloured the girl with felt tips and adhered the patterned dress that I'd cut out earlier. I stamped her again onto pink vellum and cut out the wings and adhered them to the girl. The seam binding was coloured with victorian velvet Distress stain and left wrinkled. The leaves were stamped and coloured with peeled paint. I used a Marianne Design flower die to make the roses out of the same vellum that I'd used for the wings.

I'm entering my card in the Crazy Amigo Free Theme Challenge.

Bella Rose

Hi everybody, what a beautiful day - I hope the sun is shining wherever you are. I'd like to say hello and welcome to my new followers and to say hello to the followers that have been with me for awhile, I really do appreciate you wanting to follow me.

This is my latest DT card for Creative Expressions and also my last one using the lovely Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose stamp and die set.
The colour of the roses was inspired by the beautiful roses that my daughter gave me for Mothers Day.

I coloured the rose stamp with Whispers felt tips and wrapped and tied some gold cord around the stems after they had been die cut, the flourish and leaves had been coloured with peeled paint Distress ink.
For the background I put various colours of distress ink onto my craft mat and sprayed with water then I coloured my piece of card. After it was dry I stamped the little rosebud with water to take of some of the colour. I think you can just about make them out.
I added some lace and gold blingy things.

Everything's Coming Up Roses

  

This month the Creative Expressions DT have been sent the fabulous Heartfelt Creations Bold Bella Rose stamp set and Bella Rose dies to work with.

This is the card that I made.

I stamped the leaves onto some background paper with bundled sage Distress ink.and then matted it onto some white card that I'd edged with bundled sage. I attached the ribbon to one corner before matting the background onto the main card blank. I coloured the rose stamp with Whispers felt tips and sprayed with water before stamping onto white card, I did this three times, then I die cut them and attached them to the card. The die cut border was made with a Spellbinders die from the Fleur De Lis set.
