Manor House Creations - Beautiful You Layout

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing a layout created for Manor House Creations using the gorgeous "Beautiful You" collection of pattern papers and flowers from the Winter 2014 Collection.

To create the background I tore the yellow "In My Thoughts" pp diagonally, then backed it with the pink side of the "Fresh and New" pp.  I masked over the top using a floral stencil design and modelling paste.  Once dry, I misted with water and randomly added dabs of mimosa IZink, then spritzed with water again to created a watercolour effect.  I dried off and repeated with the geranium IZink.

I have used one of the Journal spots from the "Journal Sheet" pp, which I cut down into a banner to create my title, then lightly swiped the edges with gesso.

You would probably all know that I love to fussy cut.  Here I have fussy cut some of the roses from the pp's to tuck in amongst my flower clusters.  

I also fussy cut the clock section from the "Fresh and New" pp to make a little cluster down the side of my photo.

Cardabilities Sketch #99

Hi everyone, Cathy here with a few cards to share using product from the new Winter 2014 Collection from Manor House Creations.

Keep Smiling

Manor House has some gorgeous new Feature Frames in this collection and on this card I have used the Noveau white feature frame as my background, which I altered by misting in pink to blend in with the fussy cut roses cut from the Beautiful You paper range.  I have pulled apart a tea rose into 2 sections to create a flat bloom which can be tucked into your layers and then a little rosebud which I used to top my ribbon bow

MHC Product:  Beautiful You-So You, Fresh and New, Feature Frame - noveau white, tea rose cream

Other Product:  Kaisercraft collectables, Lindy's Stamp Gang mist, pearl centre, satin seam binding

You Make Me Smile

The Thoughts Wandering range of papers has lovely blue tones which I have used as the background for this card.  The Beautiful pp was embossed and I distressed the edges of the Sail Away pp, then randomly brushed over with gesso,  a few flicks of glimmer mist.

One of the new Ornate Frames - elegance black was the base for my layered centre embellishment.  Wooden embellishments are very popular at the moment and Manor House has a range of cute wood elements as part of the Winter Collection.  I have used the wood elements - stamp which I altered to tie in with my colour scheme.  The Thoughts Wandering range has a coordinating diecuts elements sheet.  The cute banner was used in amongst my layers.  To finish off I used a few of the country roses in azure and softened them with a little distressed muslin.
