Posted on October 29, 2012 by karenshady67

 Good morning.

Last week, we debuted our stunning spring release flowers, and pretty soon, they are going to start arriving in your local stores. We have been giving you little teasers all week, and today, we want to tempt you a little more, and hopefully get you running to your stores, asking for these spring beauties.

We are featuring some of our ‘green’ flowers from the collection today.

Joanne has created this wonderful work of art she calls ‘Journey’. It began its life as a humble shipping tag, and Joanne has worked her magic to create this stunning home decor piece, that will now take pride of place in her home.

Elena has made this beautiful note-book as a gift for a special friend.

Elena very cleverly made the pages of the book, dyed them in tea to make them look aged, then sewed the pages together, into a little note-book. She the sewed the lovely blue lace onto the front and back pages, to make this beautiful cover.

Goodmorning, we do hope you are all having a fabulous weekend, no matter where you are. Maybe you are lucky enough to be having a creative, scrappy weekend, and if so, then we have the post for you. Our new design team girls have been hard at work, and have created some truly stunning projects to share with you today…

Elena has created a wonderful, mixed media style layout, and has given the flowers a soft shabby look, by randomly painting some GESSO over them.

‘A serious one’ Layout by Elena Olinevich

MHC products used:  The Tropic Sunset, Belief, Idyllic Pink.

This next, delightfully cute layout is from Yuka.

TIP: If you need to fill a small space, try removing the outer petals from the flower, as Yuka has done here with the pink Whimsy flower.

‘Darling girl’ Layout by Yuka Hino

MHC flowers used:  Finesse, Whimsy – baby pink, Rose leaves – large, medium and small.

Next, Gwen, has used a mix a moody mauves and blues, to scrap this stunning photo of her daughter.

MHC flowers used:  Fantasy – Moonlight – altered: misted with Glimmer mist, Jubilee – Royal Purple, Sublime – Aqua, Idyllic – White – altered: outer layer removed.

And, last, but certainly not least, Joanne, has created this wonderful, masculine layout, in her very own, unique style of scrapping.

Notice how the button added to the centre of the ‘Mittens’ flower, adds a masculine touch.
