Glasgow Rose Garden

Last Saturday and Sunday I had a lovely time at a Stampin' Up craft retreat, which was close enough to come home overnight.  Photos of all the things I made are at the bottom of this post.

The theme of the LIM challenge this fortnight is 'Duck Egg Blue, Plum and White', a colour combination I don't think I've used before, but I was really pleased how my card turned out.
To make sure I used the correct colours, I used Duck Egg Blue and Plum Promarkers to colour the image.  The image is a Francoise Read 'Glasgow Rose Garden' wood mounted stamp.  I've had it for ages, but it is still one of my favourite flower stamps and I never tire of using it.   I die cut the image with a Creative Dies Plus 'Wonky Square' die and used Duck Egg Blue and Plum card for matting and layering, leaving just a thin border.  All the card, except for the card base was snippets, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:



While I had the rubber stamp out, I decided to make another card, using the bright colours of the rainbow.  So that's two cards to add to my box of ready-made cards.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


These are the makes I made at the retreat.

  6. Gorgeous cards Liz - I was ironing some tea towels today (go me, I had a pile of washed ones built up in the ironing basket and it's my 'thing' to iron them to appease the inner neat freak) - and a couple were from a friend in Glasgow in the Charles Renie Mackintosh style - which I love! So these cards sort of summed up a happy hour spent catching up on household stuff today :) I especially love the blue and plum coloured one.And your retreat sounds like great fun - and also very productive as well.

    Hugs

  13. It looks like you had a very productive retreat Liz, just blown up the photo and they are so varied, Elephants, Birds, Flowers, Boats, I imagine it was a great fun. I love the Mackintosh Rose, so elegant in the variant of colours, but there again the colour palette of the first is equally lovely.

    Thanks so much for joining in with our June themes at penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations challenges.
