A flower of a different colour

Posted on April 7, 2013 by karenshady67

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

The team at Manor House Creations

Shabby chic ‘off the page’ with Elena

Posted on March 18, 2013 by karenshady67

Today, we have a stunning, shabby chic, spring inspired creation from ELENA. This beautiful key holder is so so pretty, we love the fresh green tones, with just a touch of Gesso, to give the whole piece a gorgeous shabby feel.

Elena tells us a little about her project ‘When I found these polka dots Maja Design papers, I definitely knew they would be perfect to use with the Mayglo – green flowers

I adhered the papers to the wooden box and started adding the embellishments and flowers. The white Meadows flowers add a lovely soft touch, while the Green Mayglo adds a spring freshness.

I just added a bit of gesso on the flowers and over the papers to maintain the shabby look of this box.’

Thanks so much to Elena.

We wish you all a wonderful week, and hope you will join us again, as we have lots of beautiful creations in store for you this week.

Designer spotlight – Elena Olinevich

Posted on January 9, 2013 by karenshady67

Elena shares a little about herself, and her wonderful style ‘Only 2 years ago, I was scared of creating a 12 x 12 layout, I only ever made cards. But, I wanted to give layouts a try, and now, am completely addicted to them, and havn’t looked back. I have experimented alot with my layouts, exploring steam punk, grunge, and mixed media, and am very happy now as I think I have managed to find my own, unique style. I love alot of detail, and layering, combined with mixed media techniques. I am a quiet, gentle person, and I think that also brings a femine feel to my works also’.

Gift ideas to inspire

Posted on December 29, 2012 by karenshady67

Well, Christmas is over for yet another year, but, if you are like me, it just seems to come around again way too fast. I have grand plans of making hand made cards and gifts for all my family members,but, time always runs out, and I never end up doing half of what I planned to do. So, my plan is to start now, surely if I start in January, I can get them finished by December right?. So, here are just a few more wonderful ideas from our design team girls, both for Christmas, and other occasions, in the hopes that I can get myself, and you guys motivated to start creating some beautiful handmade cards,and gifts, all ready for next year.

* * *

Karola truly is a genius when it comes to making stunning tags. And, its not too late to create some of these adorable tags, designed the welcome in the new year.

Elena shares some of her tips for making this wonderful wreath, ‘ I covered the wreath by wrapping some linen around a chipboard shape, I made some canvas bows, and gessoed randomly over them. I also misted the wreath with some starbust mist, which has added a pretty shimmer to it. I finished off by adding some festive, silver balls.’
