This is a truly "international" wedding card!<br />
I bought the card base in Croatia, the picture frame for the envelope in Italy, the white roses in Vienna and the blingy rhinestone-piece in Copenhagen.<br />

<br />
This one was for my Mum - a little "Thank you" in addition to a sweet treat to say thank you for giving me an understanding of art and creativity while growing up. She always enjoyed all kinds of art - the perfect addition to my Dad, who sparked my passion for photography.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here´s my little gift for her:</div>

It was a wonderful and very interesting journey and we love to remember it.<br />
So - of course - I HAD to play with this challenge this month!<br />
<br />
I love Chinese paintings with the typical red signature on one side or corner - and so I tried to mimic one of these with the <b>Altenews "Vintage Roses" stamp set </b>and my own asian signature stamp.<br />
<br />
As I love to use vellum lately, I embossed some golden stripes (background stamp from Hero Arts) and stamped one of the roses on a piece of handmade paper.<br />
<br />
I centered everything, as Chinese people love all things balanced out.<br />
<br />

They are showcasing Hero Arts products this week - and I used the <b>Hero Arts "Canvas Stripes" </b>stamp for the background. I like it a lot because of the uneven structure of the stripes - a really cool effect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it´s always fabulous to see how well products from different companies go together!</div>

For these 2 challenges I combined products from Penny Black (die set "hooray"), Altenew (stamp set "Vintage Roses") and Memory box (die set "Resting Birds"). I´m soooo sorry, that I don´t have anything from Winnie&Walter by now... :-(<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I´m totally in love with glitter paper and die cuts and vellum at the moment - want to use these components all the time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition I gave the birds some dimension with Glossy Accents:</div>

<br />
I needed a quick and happy packaging for 2 chocolate bars and came up with this idea:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muXJK4eoubU/VSwS8VRoAKI/AAAAAAAACSg/a087Sqdabig/s1600/Mix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muXJK4eoubU/VSwS8VRoAKI/AAAAAAAACSg/a087Sqdabig/s1600/Mix.jpg" height="634" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I mixed the Essentials by Ellen die "Limited Edition You Rock", which consists of the gem and the "you" and the Lawn Fawn word die "Scipty Thanks" . To be able to combine them, I cut off the "s" ... which brought a new idea to my mind: I do not have a "to"-word die in my stash - but this Lawn Fawn die is very versatile - I stretched the use of it by cutting off the "h" and the "nk" to get this:<br />

I used the gorgeous "Persian Motifs" stamp set from Altenew, white and gold embossing powder on some vellum and I incorporated a 3dimensional element, too, to express the magnificence of the architectural detail on the photo.</div>

In this (cold) time of the year filled chocolates and chocolate truffels make a great gift! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here´s my gift for a generous host/hostess : 5 different "handmade-by-me" chocolates</div>

Baileys Truffles:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a "basket" from a white cardboard box and some designer paper and filled it up with the chocolates, a flowerpot and a wintry flowerpot stick and a matching kitchen towel.</div>

Try it yourself, too! It´s a lot easier than it looks and the response is overwhelming! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried my hands on a very chocolaty chocolate cake - and it turned out delicious! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I´m so sorry that I can´t hand out a piece to everyone of you in real life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just in case you don´t know how to make the leaves: just take some leaves from a rose, dip them into warm chocolate, put them into the fridge, peel the leaves off again - voilá!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If they´re still ok (not torn) dip them into chocolate again... and so on ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you´d like to try this flower out of white chocolate, too - I got the instructions here:</div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, after creating my dark pearl necklace, my second piece was a cream
colored pearl bracelet – I LOVE bracelets – so nice to wear!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took a piece from my rhinestone heap and added some quite large pearls

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was so much fun to me, that I realized, that I´d need much more
rhinestone pieces for my new passion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I visited Vienna´s largest and most famous (on Saturdays: flea-) market –
the “Naschmarkt” – and found some really nice pieces for a reasonable price.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I even made myself necklaces for just a day/ an outfit and took it apart
afterwards – crazy! But so much fun! This one for example does not exist any
more – it was only for a day… the center-piece is the only heirloom I have from my paternal Grandma.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I created a necklace for our holiday using pearls in the colors of the sea… what I love most is the time of the day, when the sun starts to sink and causes the surface of the water to glitter and sparkle…. Therefore I chose a chandelier glass drop with some rhinestones as focal piece of the necklace…<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">My parents are always
the first ones to see my new creations. When I showed them my necklace ( <a href="http://apricotbubbles.blogspot.co.at/2013/05/vintage-inspired-jewelry.html" target="_blank">see last blog post</a>), my Mum meant, that it is perfect for <u>me</u> indeed - but the dark
pearls wouldn´t suit <u>her</u> neck. I dissented and so we tried it out in front of
the mirror. To cut a long story short – she was wrong, I was right! My necklace
fitted her perfectly!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">So I rushed home and
made one for her… here´s my newest creation (I used a vintage rhinestone piece
from the fleamarket, which was an earring in former
times):</span></div>

I love to combine pearls and old rhinestone pieces!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my 2nd try on this:</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think these vintage inspired jewelry pieces are so gorgeous to wear - not only in the evening, but also during the day to jazz up a casual outfit, don´t you agree?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks a lot for all your lovely comments on my first piece, the bracelet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have a nice Sunday!</div>

<br />
I found some gorgeous rhinestone pieces at a flea market ... I took one of those and added some pearls, that I bought in Italy... this will be my favourite bracelet for spring and summer 2013! For sure!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOVE IT! </div>

It´s so cold here - and we even had new snow last week *brrr* I hope spring will win out over winter soon!<br />
<br />
My parents invited us for lunch yesterday and we brought a small treat for them in this gift bag (I´ve seen so many people doing these bird´s nests on youtube - now I tried them myself):<br />
