Gorgeous Roses

Hi Everyone!

LG, Lesley and Trudi here and we have been creating with the absolutely utterly gorgeous, new English Rose Collection.

This collection has it all!

Beautiful double sided papers, specialty die cut and flocked papers, and of course the fantastic coordinating embellishments- Paper Pad, Die Cuts, Clear Stamps, Chipboard, Rub-ons and Journal Tags.

Trudi says:  Many words come to mind when describing this collection;  it truly is divine.  The soft femine colours, swirls and flourishes and of course those gorgeous roses, inspired me to create a pretty layout about one of my greatest loves and joys.

Layout ‘Love’ by Trudi Harrison.  Materials Used: English Rose Collection Vera Specialty Paper – Flocking (PS130), Florence (P596), Lillian (P599), Frieda (P600), Pearl (P601), Charlotte (P602), Paper Pad (PP835), Rub-ons (RB888), Die Cuts (DC331), Journal Tags (JT611), Glue Dots, Foam Tape.  Other: Butterfly Punch, Circle Border Punch, Ink, Flower

I have used the beautiful ‘Vera Specialty Flocked’ paper for my base and for someone like myself who loves hand cutting elements, the patterned papers are wonderful for this.  I first cut the corner rose and flourish element from the ‘Lillian’ patterned paper and attached this so that it sat vertically underneath my photos.  Roses have also been cut from the ‘Florence’ paper and the smaller ones as seen on the butterflies have been cut from one of the papers in the Paper Pad.   The pink lace border has also been cut from the same paper.

Floral images have been layered and attached; some with foam tape to add dimension.  My title has been created by cutting the word ‘love’  from ‘Charlotte’ patterned paper.

LG says:I totally agree with Trudi, this collection is divine. Every bit and piece of this collection is gorgeous. I highly recommend you get the entire collection. This line is definitely a must have!

On this layout, the English Rose collection was a perfect match to the photo I have used. This is a photo of my daughter with my mom. Aside from the given that I have scrapped a female photo with this feminine line, my mom’s name is “Rose.”

I had so much fun with the clear stamps that came with this collection. I initially stamped the rose image using a black ink and painted the image using Shimmerz paints.

Lesley: Trudi and LG have taken the words out of my mouth. This collection is truely GORGEOUS. I almost used the same background paper as Trudi and LG. It has the most wonderful flocked texture which just begs to be touched and admired. I ended up using one of the double sided patterned paper for my layout which set off my photo perfectly. I love all the coordinating embellishments and can’t resist using little bits of everything! I also used one of the new clear stamp sayings which was the perfect touch for my journaling.
