Roses


Morning Peeps, it's the second of our two week challenges running through August at Allsorts and I am your host with an Anything Goes theme and option of Roses which are beautiful in the gardens at the moment. Two prizes, a House Mouse stamp from Oakwood and three images from Ruth Hamilton Design.

Above a Create and Craft DT piece for Oakwood using an MDF plaque with acrylics, crackle glaze, border stencil with texture paste and crackle glaze (coloured with oxide spray) and Oakwood Bunch of Roses stamps and matching Die plus a couple of their word stamps.


This one using Ruth Hamilton Design Rose Bud printed onto Highlight Crafts papers along with a coordinating one in the background, the word Summer from AALL and Create Seasons and letter 'R' from Grungy Alphabet stamped, punched out and covered with Glossy Accents. I used snippets of green and white card for the panel, sentiment banners and letter 'R' so am popping over the the Playground with this one, taking plenty of strawberries with me for a few daiquiri's. 


And the Roses continue with a tag which was one of my samples for yesterday/today's One Day Special on Create and Craft, the collection comprises of Vintage Inc stamps which I have used in the background, dies with coordinating reflections and the tag I have used is from a new set also in the shows.

As promised a few from the wedding of Zachary and Faith last Sunday, it was a fabulous occasion albeit a tad hot in temperatures of 37deg. Son Alex pictured below was best Man and there were four Bridesmaids but the grounds were vast and having to use my wheelchair meant I wasn't able to get around as much as I might have wanted, so I only managed to get a photo of one of them, this one Azaria along with Jordan....their wedding is next July. The tail suits were dark grey so no idea why they look blue in some of my photos!


Many thanks for your visits and words of encouragement, they always mean so much.

Beautiful cards Brenda, but then, I have never seen a card of yours that isn't beautiful! You are such an inspiration.
Lovely wedding photos - that heat must have been phenomenal - we had some pretty warm days last summer, but nothing like that!

wow! Love the bright colours on the plaque and all the detailing, it's just stunning. A soft pretty card using Ruth's design but the tag is just as it says "so pretty" with a gorgeous array of colours.

Fab wedding photos and I love that orange (sorry if that is not the correct colour term!) running through the outfits and flowers.

Ciao Brenda, grazie per aver condiviso le belle foto del matrimonio di Zachary e Faith, sicuramente ha fatto molto caldo per voi in UK, poveri uomini in giacca e cravatta! :D
Stupenda card per Create and Craft, davvero d'effetto con tutte quelle textures e il fuxia! La card con il bocciolo di Ruth Hamilton è molto dolce e delicata e la mia preferita è la stupenda tag rosa con i boccioli, la lavanda, la farfalla e il bellissimo sfondo! Hai dato un bellissimo effetto tridimensionale!
Buon weekend, riposati dalle fatiche!
Abbracci

If you talk to Ruth please tell her I cannot comment on her blog. For some reason Blogger is not letting me comment on certain blogs, asks me sign in but I am already signed in to Google. So frustrating. X

Gorgeous cards as always Brenda - the detailing on the plaque is fabulous, the RH design and the CC tag both so pretty and delicate. Beautiful photos of the wedding, the bride and groom look so beautiful and happy, and everyone else looks so well turned out and happy - wow it was hot to be wearing wedding clothes in 37 degrees!! Lovely wedding outfit for you too ... it must be so lovely to have family weddings to go to ... I hardly have any family, and the few I do have aren't close so I never got an invite to either of the 2 weddings that happened this year.
