take time to smell the roses

Good morning Lovelies! How are you today? I do hope you are well and happy! I am feeling good - I had my last Rainbows last night so thats Rainbows sorted until September - yipee! I do love it but its nice to not have to think about it!

Today I have a tag I made using a couple of Oakhouse studio stamps I bought when they had a sale the other week - I wanted something to join in with the pan pastel 'roses are a girls best friend' challenge.


I made the background by stamping the image with versa mark and brushing over red pan pastel. Once I was happy with the colour I fixed the background using spray and sparkle.


I made the roses by heating some UTEE in my meltpot and colouring it with cosmic shimmer tropic red and the remainder of the pink that I generated by heating the rudolph red wow powder with UTEE. I poured the melt into a mould from WOW powders that had 3 roses in it.  The leaves were cut using spellbinders die.



Finally - I stamped the sentiment onto card I had coloured with worn lipstick distress stain then I distressed around the edges.

I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

Pan Pastelpanpasteluk: Roses are a girls best friend
Sunday Stamperpinkleart: Use a greeting
Stamping sensationssirstampalotchallenge: Summer Blooms
Funkie Junkiefrillyandfunkie - summer-heat: Summer heat
wowembossingpowder: time

Before I go I just wanted to share a pic of Lucy in here tutu from the show - gorgeous tutu!!


Bless her!!!! 

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon!

Hugs

Rachel xx

    This looks a real fun to create project Rachel and those roses are awesome. I never thought about tipping UTEE into my molds so one to try.

    Thanks so much for sharing your lovely creation with us at Stamping Sensations challenge.

      I'm not sure if all types of mold are okay with the UTEE Brenda - the modge podge and wow powder ones certainly are - haven't tried my martha stewart ones yet! xx
