My Mantra this month - STOP and smell the roses!
This months Kraft Plus Challenge is amazing!
Everything is coming up ROSES was the
the July Challenge with ROSES 3 WAYS.
Ideas were mulling around and around in my head for a few days!! Then I got to work! Actually coming up with 5 ways with roses!
Rose 1 I borrowed a rose stencil from my dear friend Lola, and stencilled the pale green paper with Turquoise Ferro! I just love the texture of Ferro!
Rose 2 Next step some pretty rose Home Sweet Home napkins to transfer onto the Kraft! love this technique, it adds a lovely element to any page!
Rose 3 Rosie's Studio Diecut Shapes - Flourish pack, to the rescue! I loved the roses with the gold trim just to add another dimension to the page!
Rose 4 Paper Roses in pale turquoise and pale pink. Tiny roses in the same colours and one little mini embroidered rose too!
Rose 5 I framed the whole page in Kaiser Kraft Sage & Grace Collection, Mint !!
The photos I originally chose for the layout, where some gardens and roses at the Chelsea Flower Show from our 2011 London visit, BUT every time I walked past the finished layout, there was just something NOT right!
Eventually decided that the ones I used complimented the page much nicer!
Thanks again Kraft Plus for a great Challenge again this month!
