A girl can never have too many flowers!! GDP#175, and SUO#216

The gorgeous new floral Romance Suite is delightful and I'm amazed at how beautiful the framelits are - I really shouldn't be amazed because all the SU products are such wonderful quality, but there is something extra lovely about this set. I love the detail cutting out the tiny pieces between the sprigs of foliage.

Here's the card recipe

  • Heat embossed the image onto watercolour paper with white embossing powder
  • watercoloured using my aquapainter with Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, and Berry Burst inkpads and Fresh Fig Marker for the sprigs 
  • cut a rectangle stitched framelit for a panel of navy from the card sets
  • embossed with polka dot basics.
  • dragging technique with the navy inkpad
  • sentiment and framelit from wood words for the tag
  • remnant of Melon Mambo ribbon and strands from white hemp ribbon

I am entering this in the challenge at the Global Design Project #175

 SUOC:216 Flowers

I have lots more ideas using this set and need to give up work so I can get a proper return on my investment in new products!!
Or at least clear off my desk so I can start again- hehe- I know you know what I mean!

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
