More lovely Deco flowers.....by Miranda

Hello there,

Today another creation made with the new lovely stamps......I've enjoyed very much playing with these stamps, I always do with those great designs made by our talented CB designer!

I've made two cards in a pink/black colour combination. This is the first one......This one is made with the Fleurs Nouveau. I've stamped and coloured on Basic Grey scrap paper and decoupaged some flowers. The wavy edges are a die(Borderabilitie) from Spellbinders( also available at CB) and the swirl and flowers are dies from Memorybox. I like these wavy borders to play with.......

from another angle......

This is the 2nd one, also made with a borderabilitie from Spellbinders. And this card is made with the Nouveau Lovebirds sheet. If I had to pick a favorite of these two sheets.....I would not know......so I would probaply buy them both!

And again I've used one of my Basic Grey scrap papers as background, I am glad I've bought a lot of them some time ago, so I have always something to grab.....

I have stamped with a pink ink and coloured with pencils and some of the flowers are embossed with Wow silver and black twinkle, coloured with markers and decoupaged. The text is from the Mackintosh sentiments. I like these stylish flowers, they have something organic.......

Well, this is my take on these flowers for today, hope I have inspired you !

Thanks for your visit and always like to read your comments! If you have questions, please ask.....

FABulous new stamps Dahling!

I know there's still a week to go, but we're launching our May stamp of the month today, Fabulous Flappers as well as two gorgeous Art Nouveau inspired sets too.

Meet the Fabulous Flappers - they come as an A4 set:

then we have Fleurs Nouveau

and Nouveau Lovebirds

Apologies to anyone French at this point for savaging your language.  I'm pretty sure fleurs are feminine (not to mention plural) and the pairing with nouveau is no doubt causing some hands to be thrown up in horror, but I'll claim artistic license - it's simply a reference to the Art Nouveau style. 

As always, we have put them on the website at introductory prices until the end of May, and there is a multi-buy for the two Nouveau sets as well.

The girls start blogging artwork with these stamps from tomorrow, so you're in for a real treat. 

If you're new to the blog, you might be interested to know that each month we give away a Chocolate Baroque gift voucher to one person drawn from all the commenters, so it's always worth leaving a little message of appreciation or encouragement.  Shirley will be announcing the winner in the first week or so of May.

The image you saw at the start is a work in progress.  I've coloured each lady using watercolour and a touch of coloured pencil, but they're currently sitting on my craft table waiting for assembly into some kind of seasonal project.  I'm still not entirely sure what, but I coloured them to represent Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, so I'm thinking about some kind of book maybe.  Click on the image for a closer look.

Have a great weekend and watch out for some great guest posts coming up later this month.
