Your Cards for Janet's Rose Challenge

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all having a relaxed weekend.

I cannot believe how many beautiful cards that you have all made.  I am so grateful that you chose this weeks challenge Janet, I can tell you that Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed making cards for it.  

Lets take a look........

Sandra 

Today's card is one using the Beautiful Brushstrokes dies that Brenda, Lynda & Lilian recently bought from Stampin up!  I saw this card on Pinterest it was designed by a chap called Martin's Mayhem.  I totally loved the card and wanted to recreate it. 

I made a card base using Night of Navy card, then used a slightly smaller matt of Night of Navy to create the topper of the card,  I used the smallest rose stamp to randomly stamp Night of Navy ink over the base piece (Martyn just inked around his) I prefer to see a pattern, I then used a Posca pen to add some white splatters, the next step was to die cut all layers of the flowers and adhered them together,  I arranged them around the card base, leaving some overhanging,  which i then trimmed flush to the topper edge.  The colours I used are Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzaz for the leaves.  I finished with a Happy Birthday sentiment,  no extra embellishments necessary in my  opinion, I added the topper section onto the card using foam pads for dimension.

My Rose themed challenge cards . Large square card is simply 4 toppers (magazine freebies) on deep pink card then on a 6x6 blank. Second card is 2 white diecuts on grey card & a pre-printed sentiment. Third card is a creative expression die on a pixie powder background. Last 2 photos are a Twist + Pop card, Ella’s Design download. I loved this challenge as it made me look at some of my stash that I’d never used before!!!

Oh Michele thank you so much for 4 absolutely stunning Challenge cards, your first set of cards are so beautiful 😍,  your Pixie powder backgrounds are just amazing Michele and I can't believe you even made a Twist &Pop using beautiful Ella's Design papers.

Karen's Description :

"How’s this One sheet of the Stamperia Romantic collection

I cut out the rose and stuck it onto the reverse of the piece of cardstock using foam pads I fussy cut the tags too stuck using foam pads I inked around the edges of the rose and cardstock with Tattered Rose DO

Plus a few pink pearls.

Card 2:

I have used a piece of Serif paper A Phill Martin sentiment embossed in gold An Altenew rose die

Card 3:

Here’s my last cc

I found a piece off PP card and had actually written the colours on the back Midnight Blue Peacock Green and Aqua Lagoon 

SW Wild Rose Edger die and one of her sentiments I created a frame and backed it with acetate I foam mounted it on card base So sentiment looks like it’s floating slightly.

Three beautiful cards Karen, I love the Stamperia papers that you have used for your first two cards. Your third card is amazing, I love the Pixie Powder colours, using the acetate was a clever idea, the sentiment really does look like its floating.   Thank you so much for supporting Janet's Rose Challenge  XXX

Sonia's Description:

"I’ve used a LOTV image and sentiment stamp. The backing paper is from Anna Marie Designs. The die cut border is from Joy Crafts (I think) to which I added the little punched flowers."

"Again I’ve used Anna Marie Designs backing paper. I cut the Sizzix mixed 

media frame and the Stamp Market friend die and inked using Spun Sugar distress ink. The sentiment is also from the Stamp Market."

Sonia your cards are absolutely beautiful as always, that pretty LOTV topper works perfectly with the Anne Maria papers.   Your second card is so pretty, I really love your new sentiments. Thank you so much for supporting Janet's challenge XXX

Maria's Description:

"On my first card I used a rose stamp and coloured it in with my water colour pencils.

The other two I used some papers, stamped the sentiment on one and die cut Mum

on the other (probably changes it to Mamma)."

Oh Maria your cards for Janet's challenge are so beautiful from your beautiful hand coloured rose spray with that lovely Sentiment, to that beautiful card for your Mum and lastly that adorable fox with her gorgeous floral crown. Thank you so much Maria for three beautiful cards XXX

That trio of delicate roses are so pretty    Thank you so much Cheryl for supporting Janet's  challenge XXX 

Brenda

Brenda's Description:

Card 1 - I used the Rose stamps from SU Brushed Blooms set to make the background. The Butterflies were left over from the challenge we had a few weeks ago, I rejected them at the time, but being a crafter couldn’t throw them away!

Card 2 - was inspired by a rose bush we had for our diamond anniversary  (The rose is named diamond wedding)  produced its first flower, I used a John next door embossing folder to create the frame and added a pale pink behind that to enhance the colour of the rose.

Two beautiful challenge cards from Brenda for Janet's Rose Challenge.   I love the beautiful colourful butterflies on Brenda's first card.  The second card is beautiful in its simplicity,  that beautiful rose was the inspiration for the card, such a brilliant idea.  Thank you so much Brenda for two amazing cards XXX

Love & Hugs,
