Designer spotlight – Linda Langes

Today, we have some wonderful creations from the amazingly talented Linda Langes. Linda is one of our card-making specialists.

* * *

Linda tells us a little about her style, and the inspiration behind her gorgeous projects  ’I love lots of layers and pretty things – flowers, ribbons, bling,
glitter and swirls to name a few. My projects for this month were created with
a purpose – the “S” box I filled with goodies for my sister who hosted
Christmas this year and the Tussie Mussie I will fill with chocolates for my
daughter for Valentine’s Day. No matter what I create or what techniques I play
with I can’t help but keep things fairly neat and tidy – that’s my “default”
setting, shall we say lol.

A beautiful gift box from Linda

Hi All!

It’s Linda here to share some Manor House Creations love with you

When I’m paper crafting I love to alter boxes – whether to use as gifts or to keep for myself.

The box I’m sharing with you today is being put to good use in my daughter’s bedroom…..

I’ve combined these gorgeous Manor House flowers - Royalty-Duchess; Sublime Aqua; Jubilee Coronation Cream; Sublime Baby Blue and Poetry White. The Manor House leaves have been coated with gesso and then spritzed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist for a beautiful shine.

I hope you have some time this week to play with your own beautiful Manor House Creations flowers.

Bye for now….

x Linda
