Elizabeth Craft Designs-Shabby Chic Rose

 Hello crafting friends!

I decided to make this shabby chic rose card today.  For some reason I forget about this style but it looks really feminine to me and sets a tone for romance in the air.

Added tule, ribbon and stamen in white enhances the feeling.

The paper layers are all distressed with Tim Holtz distress tool.

Bohemian Rose Paper , Rose_2, Rose Companion Flower, Bohemian Rose Sentiments,

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Slimline Time

 Hello crafting friends!

One of my favorite card styles is the slimline so today I'm sharing my first card using the new Bohemian Rose release.  The colors in the new paper line so perfectly match the Oxide ink, Spun Sugar, so I sprayed the background paper with that distress Oxide Ink and inked the roses with the pad and brushes in the same color.

The bottom lattice is actually a die from the Delicate Fancy Purse, I also used: Rose-2,

Bohemian Rose paper, Fern and Greenery, Bohemian Rose Sentiments, and Layered Labels

I finished my flowers with glitter.

 Hello crafting friends,

Today I'm doing a step by step tutorial for this lovely Christmas card.

Step one: Make a 7 1/4”X 10 1/2” card base from white cardstock folded in half to make 5 1/4” X 7 1/4” in card followed by a gold layer 5 1/8” X 7 1/8” and finally another white layer 4 7/8” X 6 7/8” then die cut 3 layers of Festive Ornate Frame from white and 1 layer from gold.

Step Five: Die cut poinsettias from red cardstock, Use a dry brush to add highlights to leaves and flower petals, using gold paint.  Use a light touch to add just a bit of gold and make sure brush is dry,  form the petals on soft pad then glue together to make poinsettia flowers.  Glue gold centers in each flower.

Elizabeth Craft Designs- Christmas in Color

 A different color that is! Hello crafting friends!

This is for those of you who like Christmas in non-traditional colors, I know there are a few of you out there!

I used a stamp with VersaMark ink on the background to add a bit of interest.

The decorative frame is cut from Silver Metallic cardstock.

Festive Ornate Frame, Festive Ornaments, Festive Holly Sentiments, Layered Labels

There are 16 ornament pieces for a flat bottom ornament as shown.  I used 32 pieces to make a full ornament.  A lighter weight paper works best for this honeycomb technique.

I glued a bead at the bottom of the ornament.
