Manor House Creations - DT LO Spring 2013 Range

Hi Ladies,
I can't tell you how excited I was when I received my massive box of goodies from Nerrida at Manor House Creations.  It felt like Christmas when I opened my parcel and saw all the gorgeous flowers and fabulous new "Believe" paper range.  Today I have a LO to share using some of the new product from the Spring 2013 Collection.
Dare to Dream Big


The trellis paper with the centre frame "Us Together" immediately popped out at me when I first saw the new Believe range, and inspired me to create this LO.  I started by trimmimg it down a little around the edges, cut out inner part of the frame, then backed it with a piece of the "Dreams Come True" pp which I masked with a Prima Stencil and gesso, then highlighted with some Luminarte pigment powder.
I love to grunge up my edges, so I punched, distresssed, inked and stamped the edges of the paper and used the reverse side of the "Lace" pp to create a contrast border.   To add a pop of colour I painted the blossoms from the trellis design with Fuzzy Peach Luminarte pigment powder mixed with water, which has a lovely shimmer (it's a not easy to see in the pics), then added another layer of stamping in pink around my edges.
To tone in with the black and white pp's, I altered my photo to black and white and framed it with one of the new ornate scallop frames in black.
Now the flowers - which are all from the gorgeous new Spring range.  I used the pink vinette, these are very versatile as you can cut them up to fit in with your design, the black tea roses and Floral Mix Arielle clustered around the photo and also a smaller cluster on the right.  To add some sparkle I coated the edges of the pink Arielle flowers with diamond dust.
And finally the title, where I used the new flexible words in black.  There are also other words available in black and white.
