A February Rose


The first Sunday of the month means new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are CAS as selected by Faith and Romance (which I think I may have selected) with prizes from Lavinia Stamps and AALL and Create

I warned yesterday that AALL and Create Rosy Daze (1251) would be popping up again, this time in red, Frayed Frames (26) cut in white and black, then for the outer frame I used the border dies in the same set and extended to create a larger mat, the hearts from the same set as yesterday and the background stencil Rosy Posy (138).


This one using Lavina's lovely Large Humming and one of the Bees from Bumble and Hum stamped into circles created with a glue pen and Gilding Tilsen. Colouring done with Posca sparkle pens, some gold splatters and word from Bumble Words.


Today is also the day to showcase our Card Chain Challenge exchange cards and for once I've got the date right! This is the one I sent to Dagmar in Poland following the colour palette of Walnut, Lavender and Jade along with Cat options. A gelli plate oval, all stamps are Lavinia and the strooms one of their new stickers. I received a lovely card from my blogging and DT friend Carol.

Wow, a gorgeous selection Brenda. I can't pick a favourite but the posca pen colouring on our bee card looks very effective.

3 beautiful cards, each totally different. Didn't know posca did sparkle pens so best take a look at them:-)

Three more really gorgeous cards and the CAS style of the humming bird one is so effective with those delicate gold circles. The rose looks good in red and the scene in the oval is so pretty - great colour scheme.

A beautiful trio of cards Brenda, lovely variety of images and styles. The rose looks beautiful in red, love the frame too.
The second card really caught my eye, those delicate, gold circles look so good and make such a difference to the design, fabulous colouring too. Of course I love your magical Lavinia scene, lovely colour palette.
