Hello everyone, Welcome & thanks for visiting,

Annette Gearside here and I am delighted to be Guest Designer today for

COUTURE CREATIONS.

I am working with the new RITZ COLLECTION

'GATSBY' pad, stamps and dies.

The 1920's is a favourite era of mine so I was drawn to the Art Deco designs by Sue Smyth

My first sample is titled:

PARTY TIME

I found this image and decided to highlight the mask with a real peacock feather,

enhancing the colour with flowers of a matching shade.

I used the die which I then halved to add either side of the picture.

Old gold flowers mixed with the peacock colour, cut a circle to fill a metal embellishment

on which a hand made gold tassel hangs.

Fussy cut the party time title, champagne bottle & glass.

There are many raised layers all mounted on black to emphasise the angular lines.

I really got into the mood of the era and continued to play.

I wanted to show how wonderful wedding photos could look on range,

it really is so versatile.

CELEBRATION

The bride is mounted onto a frame of gold & raised on foam tape.

A dull green lace banner heads above the photos & using metals to highlight the garland , I added shades of grey green & gold with a deep citrus green roses which are nestled on a base of silver grey organza petals for softness, the metal oval has paper and gold pearls there are bright gold leaves tucked into each side.
