The gorgeous black ‘Party time’ flower, helps to modernize her layout, and give it a funky look, perfect for the cool photo of her daughter.

Altered money box

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Manor House Creations

Just when you thought you’d seen everything, along comes the ever-talented Joanne Bain with an altered glass money box…..and isn’t it stunning!

Here’s what Jo said about this inspired creation:

I picked this up at a homewares closing down sale. I loved the big frog on the side and decided to alter it and make it even more beautiful. I scraped away some of the silver glitter on the capri roses and painted with gesso to make them more of a whitish silver. I pulled some of the layers away from the petite roses to make some of them a little smaller and also added a splash of Shimmerz to the tips. Hope you like.

Materials Used – Mayglo – Pink, Celeste – Pink, Petite Roses – Marshmellow & Capri Roses – Silver.

Altered and amazing

Posted on March 1, 2013 by karenshady67

Hi, and welcome to our blog today. You will be so glad you called in, as we have a very special treat for you from the incredibly talented Joanne Bain. Just take a look at these stunning creations

* * *

Joanne shares ”This was one of those fake book type boxes that you can get to hide keys and other valuables in, in you bookcase. Well not anymore…lol. It is now what I call a Vintage Trinket Box.

I scraped a little of the glitter away from the mini roses to make them
a little plainer

I turned the Rue – Watermelon flower inside out and removed the black stamens. This gave me a fuller flower that blended perfectly with the Winters Song blooms.

Vintage trinket box by Joanne Bain

MHC Products used: Winters Song – Fire Glow & Embers, Glitter Mini Roses – red & white, Mini Dahlia – white, Rue – Watermelon & Small light green leaves.

* * *

This second, stunning project began its life as a hanging glass votive or as I would say a hanging glass Tea Light holder. Anyway when I purchased them I knew what I wanted to do with it and that was to make it into a bird nesting ball…lol. So it no longer hangs and is now firmly attached to a candelabra. I wanted to create a shabby icy feel to this one so I white washed lightly a lot of what went onto it.

I have used the feathery Fascinating white bloom as the floor inside the glass ball. I scraped away a lot of the glitter from the Capri flowers, I then painted with gesso to give them a soft wintery feel. I also pulled apart some
of them to make some smaller flowers by scrunching them

I pulled apart the Winter Song Ice Crystals White flower and used only the bottom section and nestled one of the Capri flowers to the centre so it was not quiet so big. I also slightly white washed the blue Dahlias to tone them
down just a little so they would blend nicely with the Winters Song Snowbird bloom.

Tea light holder by Joanne Bain

MHC Products used: Winter Song – Snow Bird & Ice Crystals, Mittens, Ashlee – Blue, Capri – Blue & Silver, Dahlia – Blue & White, Fascinating – White & small leaves.

Altered lantern with Joanne Bain

Posted on December 27, 2012 by karenshady67

Hello lovely scrappy friends. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and enyoyed the time with your family and friends.

We have something very special to show you today. Joanne Bain has weaved her magic, and created this totally adoarable altered lantern, full of Manor House Creations flowers.

* * *

Jo shares her ideas, and inspiration ‘I am always on the look out when we go to the markets for different things for me to alter. Quiet a while ago I found this lantern and I knew it was something I would love to do, so I brought it and it has sat on my bookcase ever since….until now.

Because it closes completely and has quiet a large door I knew I would be able to work on the inside of it as well as the outside. Inside I placed a small twiddleybitz birdcage which I added vines and flowers to and then inside of the cage are small passport photos of my special little man, he is my baby and will always hold the keys to my heart. I have added keys and a small heart trinket which I found in a cheap jewellery shop to the locking piece of the lantern, they were the perfect size for this.

Because of this lantern being dedicated to my little man I wanted to use more neutral tonings. The Winters Song – Log Cabin brown flowers were the perfect starting point. As these have some silvery glittered stamen centres the new Glitter Mini Roses coordinated perfectly with them. I scraped a lot of the gold glitter away from the petals of the roses leaving just a hint and then opened the roses up for a fuller flower. I had some the vines already but added more of the MHC small light green leaves to it to make it a little more bushy.

I like to add rub ons to my creations when I can, so to do this I simply apply them to clear acetate and cut to the size I require. I have placed my rub on into the middle the vine and have attached with a dob of glue and placed a butterfly over the top so the glue cannot be seen. Quick and simple yet very affective and also allows my to give my lantern a title and meaning’.

‘The keys to my heart’ by Joanne Bain

MHC Products used: Glitter Mini Roses – caramel, red & white, Leaves – light green (small) & Winters Song – Log Cabin.

* * *

Thank you so much Jo, for sharing this delightful creation.

A colour explosion

Alicia’s choice of bright, summery colours highlights her beach photo perfectly.

Alicia shares a little about her layout: ‘Because there is so much colour on this page, I chose a plain white background to ground the page and keep from overcrowding. I also kept the actual page design really simple, so that

the colour could tell the story. I love how the use of bright bold colours gave my page the tropical holiday feel that I was looking for’.

Layout by Alicia Barry

MHC Products used: The tropics - sunset, Dahlias - blue, Springtime - white, Mayglo – green, Wild rose - green, Jubilee mix - orange, Gelato - lemon.

A magical birdcage

Posted on December 8, 2012 by karenshady67

Joanne here with you today to showcase some of the gorgeous Manor House Winter Collection flowers. As with all of the flowers from the winter collection which are all beautiful it would be hard to pick favourites but luckily for me I found a few that I just adore and today i will be showing you just what they are.

If you were to walk into any home decor shop at the moment the first thing that you will see would probably be bird cages of many shapes and forms, so today I have created an altered magical birdcage to share with you.

Can you tell yet which flowers I adore? Maybe a another close up will help..

The “WINTERS SONG” collection of flowers are beautiful. The frosted edges on them give them so much texture, yet they are soft enough to mould into shape. I have pulled the larger pink Winters Song flowers apart to allow me to have 2 larger and 2 smaller flowers. From the larger parts of the pink flowers, one has been made the bottom of one of the nests while the other has been scrunched to make another flower and placed inside the cage. I scrunched the large white Winters Song flowers to make tighter smaller dimensional flowers to allow more to be placed on the cage.

The “MITTENS” flowers are a smaller version of the bigger Winters Song flowers and have the same textured petals. I removed the centres from the mittens flowers and scrunched to make more dimension flowers and have sprinkled these around the cage.

And then we come to the “PETITE ROSES” which just quietly I love!. With the petite roses some were left the beautiful soft pink marshmallow while others I misted with Pink Bubb Glimmer mist to co-ordinate with the colouring of the pink Winters Song – Ice Crystal & Embers flowers. Light green small Manor House leaves have been added through out the cage to add some lovely leafy foliage.

Magical birdcage by Joanne Bain

MHC Materials Used – MHC Leaves – Light Green – Small, Winters Song – Ice Crystal, Whimsy – Baby Pink, Winters Song – Embers, Mittens & Petite Roses – Marshmallow.

* * *

So there you have it…..a magical birdhouse packed with Manor House goodness and a place where little birds and fairies call “HOME”
