Tsunami Rose Butterflies!

Today I'm here with a gorgeous 6x6" book page printed with vintage butterflies from Tsunami Rose Designs. Its such a gorgeous paper I dont think it needs much else! Tsunami Rose papers are printable files that you buy to print in your home as often as needed - so I printed it twice and inked around the edges of the first sheet with Vintage Photo distress ink.

With the second sheet, I fussy cut many of the full butterflies and used cosmic shimmer glue to the bodies, allowing the wings to fly off the page, giving a 3D effect. I added corner flourishes and a sentiment. Lace around three edges finishes this wall hanging with matching blue organza.

Tsunami Rose Designs Challenge #23 Romance and Love

I cannot believe it's Wednesday again already!!!
Here is this weeks DT project for Tsunami Rose Designs. This month we are showing you the Polished Lackluster Printable Journal Kit which you can purchase in the Tsunami Rose Zibbet or Etsy Shops - you can find all the links you need at the bottom of this post!

This week is an anything goes challenge based on the theme Romance and Love. With the ephemera and papers being from a Journal kit I decided on a journal page. I have kept it pretty basic but jazzed it up with a few touches.

I have used the beautiful samples from the journal kit and added black lace, beading and bling. Some mulberry paper roses finish the page.

Hope you like today's project - here are the links you need below!

Tsunami Rose Designs Challenge #22 Friendship

Hi everyone, i'm back today with my latest creation for Tsunami Rose Designs. This was the first 6x6 mini wall hanging that I created. You might remember that I had a blog post last week with three other mini wall hangings - this is the one that started the craze!

This has been made with a page from a 6x6 chipboard album that has been covered with birdcage paper from the Victoria Park paper pad by LilyBeeDesign. All the printed ephemera is from the Tsunami Rose Shop - you will find all the links you need below!

I have used printable ephemera from the sample sheets in the stop this month and adhered to the board. I've also then added lace trim along two sides, some paper flowers and some bling along the other sides.

The bingo card was printed twice, the flowers fussy cut and attached using 3d foam and then covered with Glossy Accents.

I hope you like my project this week - I can see many more of these in my future!!!
Why not join us over at Tsunami Rose for the new challenge and see what my design team mates have created too!

Thanks for visiting

Tsunami Rose Challenge #19 Motherly Love

Well, sticking with the theme of Mothers, this week's challenge over at Tsunami Rose Designs is called 'Motherly Love' and the design team have put together some examples for you using Printable Ephemera from Tsunami Rose - beautiful tags, mason jars, images, sentiments all put together to provide the perfect elements for your projects. You can find all the links you need below.

Here is my project for this challenge. I think I may be in my purple phase...

I have used a post card and sentiment from the ephemera sampler and some purple card stock, purple lace and purple card candi accents! I've also used mini glittered blooms from Craftwork Cards Bohemian Goody Bag with olive candi in the centres. The 'Happy Mother's Day' is also from the printed ephemera.

The background is using a spellbinders embossability in Paisley pattern with distress inks Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord to colour it. I've edges the elements with purple stickles.

I love to stay and chat but children running riot and I think there must be a bug about!!! 

Come and join us for the Motherly Love challenge! You dont need to use TRD elements but we love to see what you can do with them!

Tsunami Rose Designs Challenge #15 - Sketch Challenge

I have been so ill! I honestly cant remember the last time I felt this bad but the show must go on and here is my second DT Project for Tsunami Rose Designs! This week's challenge is a Sketch Challenge based on this sketch and using the Tsunami Rose 'Ephemeral Love Affair' paper pack available here.

I managed to finally get hold of a set of Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix Alterations dies and decided to try them out for this challenge using them on the beautiful pink distressed damask paper from this pack. I cut some hessian/burlap too and layered up the flower with a gem in the centre and a scalloped circle underneath.

It might be hard to believe, but in all my stash, I could not find a single butterfly!!! So, a smaller tattered flower was adhered at the bottom of the card too instead. I have stamped a sentiment directly onto the paper.

And to finish, some antique distressed seam binding ribbon in a double bow at the top. I ran some vintage photo distress ink round the edges of the flower layers just to give some added dimension as well. 

Well, here's hoping I will be back to normal soon, I have so much to do including wedding invitations for my friend's impending nuptials - I really ought to get them done or that might be a very quiet day!

Why not join us for this week's Wednesday Challenge - there's no need to use Tsunami Rose Designs but we love to see what you do with them!

Tsunami Rose Challenge 14: Anything Goes

YAY!!!! The day is finally here! My first DT project for Tsunami Rose Designs! I am a new member of the Design Team for April and have stepped out of my comfort zone and harnessed my inner Goth for this first challenge project!

The papers are a sumptious pack called 'Damask Madam' and they are stunning - blacks and pinks with harlequin, damask and rose prints, with distressing and musical notes and just beautiful images! I love these papers and you can buy your very own set here!

So, what did I do for my first assignment? Well, here's how it started - strips of the gorgeous papers, a ribbon rosette and a satin ribbon bow!

The strips were mod podged onto a chipboard door hanger shape and left to dry, cut out and the edges painted with black acrylic paint. I used my hot glue gun to adhere the ribbons and rosette and the paper strip under the hole.

I found a fabulous vintage button in my mother's old button box which I attached to the rosette and added a couple of feathers under there for more dimension.

The metal heart shape has been stuck on the front of my box of embellishments for months and I knew I had to use it - it has wire and little pearls wrapped around it. 

Some paper flowers and sticky sparkles finish off the hanger - as well as some Frosted Lace Stickles Glitter Glue around some of the painted edges.

I hope that you will come on over the Tsunami Rose Blog and have a go at entering this weeks Wednesday Challenge! The theme this week is anything goes and you DONT have to use the Tsunami Rose products in your project - although we do love to see what you can do with them!

Let's do the Time Warp!?

I am loving Tsunami Rose Designs! I am so excited at being on their Design Team and I have another card using some of their fabulous papers today!

This is a 6x6 paper called 'Vintage Clocks' in Sepia and you can find it here. I have distressed the paper by scrunching it up and using my Tim Holtz distressing tool on the edges, i've then added some Vintage Photo distress ink to the edges and creases. I adhered some pearlescent copper card to the white card base and attached the paper.

I found this really cute steampunk digi stamp by Vince over at Crafty Moments - he has this for free download in distressed, coloured or plain outline. I've then used some vintage seam binding ribbon, some jute chord that i've coloured with vintage photo and soem burgandy roses to compliment the ones in the image.

Glossy accents has been added to the roses and watch face on the image to add a bit of sheen - I think it was still drying when I took the photos! The 'Time' sentiment is a rub-on from a set that i bought in a pound shop several years ago - this was a completely inspired find today and i'm quite sure i'll be using the others from the set soon!
