Framed Roses

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Way back in September, I promised you I'd show you another design demonstrating the versatility of Linda's Roses & Lace plate.  I don't break promises, so here it is...

Can you see what's different, apart from the frame?  If you're thinking one of the roses is missing from the top left, you'd be right!  I omitted it so the design fitted the space.  Once the roses were in place, I added the frame behind, in much the same way as you'd mask of a stamped design before adding background detail.  Then, finally added the sentiment

Card: Unbranded white and lilac, and Clarity's lilac parchment
Groovi Plates: Princess Charlotte Lace Corner Duet, Linda's Roses & Lace, Nested Scallop Squares, and Occasions Border
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing, piercing, and cutting tools, Clarity brads, and rhinestones from my stash

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the first of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Rainbow Card Challenge.  But before we get to it, this month is also a DT CALL!

If you would like to join our team for 2020, please add DT to the end of your submission title. The call will be part of this month's challenge, as well as January's challenge. If you enter both months, please add DT to both submissions so we can see your versatility! We are so excited to see what you create for us!

Our theme this month is Regal Rainbow although your card does NOT have to include ALL the colors of the rainbow, if you don't want to... we just ask that for this month only that you make it as colorful as possible!

And here's my card...

Card: Unbranded white, SU's Dapper Denim and various snippets, and Clarity blue and clear parchment
Groovi Plates: Nested Scallop Squares and Linda's butterflies
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing and cutting tools, and brads, Arteza pencils, and unbranded rainbow dies

Groovi Plates: Linda's Butterflies (round frame and corner flowers in the top 2), Tina's Symmetrical Floral Round, New Design Club bouquet, and Diagonal Piercing Grid

Mid Challenge Reminder for TRCC - Magically Metallic

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the middle of the month, so I'm back with a reminder of my card for The Rainbow Card Challenge.  We are a monochromatic challenge and while we ask you to keep your creations as such, we appreciate the need for neutral colors and or a hint of others.

This month our theme is MAGICALLY METALLIC, though the former is optional, and here's the inspiration image...

And here's a reminder of my card, the details of which can be found on my original post...

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Another Bird in Flight

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The card I'm sharing with you today comprises something old (the bird plate), something new (the Princess Charlotte Lace Corner), and something blue, or more specifically 2 somethings blue (parchment and rhinestones).  If I'd borrowed something, it might have been more appropriate for a wedding, but nope, it was for a dear friend's birthday last month...

Card: Unbranded Kraft and black, and Clarity blue parchment
Groovi Plates: Princess Charlotte Lace Corner Duet, Large Garden Bird with Branch, and Occasions Border
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing, piecing, and cutting tools, Arteza pencils (the bird is colored), Clarity brads, and rhinestones from my stash
