It is with great pleasure that we welcome the incredibly talented LORI WILLIAMS as our Guest designer.

I’m a happy, fun loving, Southern girl who lives in the Western North Carolina USA, mountains. I have two beautiful little boys who keep me running, they are 7 and 12. Cole is my younger and he’s Mr Energy. Will is my older son and he is disabled. Getting out of the house with him is a bit more challenging for me so I’m so blessed to be able to share my art with the world yet be at home with him. I live right next door to my best friend and sister, who also is a paper artist. We certainly are a dangerous pair at scrapbook expos. I have always participated in the arts in one form or the other, starting with pottery, then receiving my college degree in Jewellery/ Metal Production crafts and finally crossing over into paper after the birth of my first son. Art is my form of therapy and is an addiction that I love to share with others. I would describe my style as clean yet detailed. I love layers and have a great eye for colour and balance. I also love to bring a bit of metal into most of my work, hard to let my past not sneak into my projects.

Thanks for joining us today, and Happy Crafting
The team at Manor House Creations
Are you ready to take an inspiring trip through our Manor House garden today. Our designers have once again created some stunning pieces to share with you.
MHC have a huge variety of flowers, in just about every colour imaginable, but, even with so many to choose from, sometimes, you will find that you just dont have that ‘perfect’ coloured flower that you need. So, we thought we would show you just how easy it is to alter our flowers, ever so slightly, and very easily, to match any project, and any colour imaginable.
* * *
Firtly, Gwen has created a beautiful, heartfelt card, suitable for any occasion, and perfect for someone special. The pretty blooms frame the sentiment perfectly.
All our flowers take up ink so well, as you can see here, where Gwen has used Glimmer Glam to change the white ‘Ashlee’ bloom an impressive aqua colour. Notice how the blue edges of the Ashlee flower have given the flower a pretty, almost purple edge.
Card by Gwen Wruck
MHC Products used: Ashlee -white (glimmer glam added), Mayglo – pink, Meadow – white.
* * *
Karen is next, with a pair of pretty, shabby chic tags, made using the gorgeous Taniesha flowers. These flower sprays are just the perfect size for tags and cards.
Karen has used just a little Gesso on the edge of the petals on both the yellow, and mauve Taniesha flowers, to give them a more ‘shabby’ look.
Tags by Karen Shady
MHC Products used: Taniesha mixed pack

Another beautiful, shabby card from Elena.
Elena had added just a hint of brown ink to the edge of the petals, to grunge them up a little, to better suit her card
Card by Elena Olinevich
MHC Products used: Celeste – Pink, Mini glitter roses – pink.

We love these 2 adorably cute layouts by Nancy. Starring her 2 gorgeous babies.
Nancy has used blue paint to alter the white flowers to match her layout. She simply put a small amount of blue paint into a spray bottle, and watered it down. Nancy said she was very pleasantly surprised at how well the paint took to the flowers. This is a very inexpensive alternative to buying ready made spray inks.
Layouts by Nancy Winter
MHC Products used: Poetry – bronze, Apple blossom – altered, Imagine – cocoa, Poetry – sage
* * *
And, lastly, another beautiful mixed media layout by Elena. Elena is the queen of mixed media, and on this layout she has used lots of awesome paints and inks to completely change the look of her flowers.
Elena has been very inventive here. She has removed the centres of some of the flowers, and added them as the centre of others, giving a pretty 2 toned look to the flowers.
Layout by Elena Olinevich
MHC Products used: Celeste – white, Ashlee – white, Mia – green, Meadows- white.

We hope our post has inspired you to have a go at altering some flowers for yourself. You can see the gorgeous results.
Happy crafting

Well, we hope you have been inspired a little by our creations. Im sure there is something in there for everyone.
Hello, and welcome to our blog on this lovely Saturday morning.
We have some wonderful cards to share today, including a lovely ‘tropical inspired’ wedding stationary set from NANCY. We love this idea, and with our huge selection of flowers, you could create this stationary set to suit any wedding scheme imaginable.
Nancy has tucked in half cut flowers under the name cards etc. So just a few packets should be enough to do the entire number stationery required.
Nancy has added little shells on the MHC flowers to complement the tropical theme. Beach weddings are very popular at the moment, and this concept could be adapted to suit the flower theme of the wedding.
Below is a menu card or (whatever is needed) and a thank you card to complete the task of wedding stationery set.

MHC Products used: Winters song – pink, Mayglo – yellow

GWEN created this soft, and delicate blue and grey card set. The sentiments are quite general, allowing you to use these cards for any occasion
Gwen has added ‘Tide pool’ coloured Glimmer glam to the Christmas – Angelic flower, to give it this brilliant aqua colour. One of the great things about the paper flowers in the MHC collections are their ability to take sprays, and inks.
