Today is the first Sunday of the month so time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping. The challenge where you can showcase your stamps and your skill at using them.
This month our theme is:
**Anything Stamped with the Option of Roses **
This little lady is feeling rather shy, hiding behind those leaves and dressed in soft pale colours, but I hope that you can appreciate her subtleness, she doesn't like being bold and brash, not today anyway.
She was stamped and heat embossed in a soft gold and coloured with polychromos pencils and cut out with the matching die. The background in the picture is stencilled and the frame is cut from a soft gold flecked card.
I have included her for this challenge as she does have a rose in her hair and in front of her, but that one is partly obscured by the die cut leaves.
Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and this month the prize has been kindly donated by Colemans Craft Warehouse and includes a die, a stencil and and stamp following a Rose theme. Why don't you head over to the challenge blog to check it out? The prize winner is selected randomly and in addition the DT will choose one entry to join us as a guest designer for a future challenge.
I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is follow the prompt and ensure stamping is the main focus on your card. The challenge will close at noon on Wednesday the 29th June.
I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

Why, its gorgeous! It reminds me of an antique painting in gold frame that I had seem somewhere. I think the idea of the shy lady fits with that of your design - i.e, using all that soft gold, and soft colors. She looks really lovely. Wonderful card, Hilary!
A very soft and pleasing colour palette Hilary and the frame really sets off the art deco image.

Hilary, she looks so sweet nestled in the foliage. She does have a shy-ish expression. The embossing is very pretty and I love seeing this beautiful frame again, especially in the gold-flecked cardstock. Lovely!
Hi Hilary,
your card is lovely with that wonderful die. The stamp of the young lady is marvelous too. Your colouring is so softly, I love it!
Love this art deco looking image and the soft, subtle coloring, Hilary!
Love the embossed delicately coloured image and beautiful frame

That's a lovely stamp, embossing it in gold is a beautiful way to use it, and the gold frame compliments it so well. Thank you for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge!
It's me again, wanted to also thank you for playing along at Festive Friday too!
gorgeous image and the gold embossing framing are perfect ♥
She does look very demure and sits perfectly behind your framing.
What a lovely picture you've created with the shy gal and that gold flecked frame. Love combination of elements Hilary.
Lovely card Hilary -the soft colours are beautiful and the gold embossing on yur image is perfect. Thanks for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge. Deborah DT
This is beautiful Hilary and I love the soft colouring of this pretty lady and the background stencilling and die cut frame and leaves in these complementary colours is very effective..I especially love the gold glitter flecks in the soft gold card. Thank you very much for joining in with the NBUS Challenge this month. x
What a pretty card! The stenciled background is very pretty and the frame is quite beautiful. All the elements on your card are beautiful and all blend together so harmoniously. THank you for playing along with the Festive Friday Challenge
Beauitful card just love this and gorgeous colours x
Beautiful card Hilary! I LOVE your beautiful lady with the rose in her hair. The stenciled background along with the pretty gold flecked frame add to the vintage look of this lovely image. Great work! xx
What a beautiful card you've created, perfect for many different occasions. I like the lady in your image, and the soft colours on her go so well with the soft geometric background. The frame you used is such a clever way to add to the mistery as it could also be a window, meaning it's not the image of a shy lady we see here but an actual person. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
I spotted the roses right away, Hilary - such a pretty card with all the gold!!
Fabulous and so stylish card;-))m
Her shy and demure demeanor is so perfect with that image. I love how you used the soft color tones with her. So glad you shared this with us at Festive Friday this week

Beautiful card!
What a wonderful vintage image, Hilary! She does look gorgeous looking sidelong through the rose bush. The gold heat-embossing suits her as does your soft coloring, stenciled background, and beautiful gilded frame! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
A beautiful card and lovely design.
