Tuesday Treat Update

You may remember that at the beginning of March I ran a promotion to help choose the colours for a new range of rose cards. Well I promised you pictures of the winning choices and so here they are.

Each design is cut by hand into a square white card:

A coloured paper insert then adds the pop of colour to each card. Pink was definitely the most popular choice including raspberry and cerise shades. 

One giveaway winner was quite partial to a blue rose:

Here is the trio of runner's up colour choices together:

And the gift wrapped set for the winner Amy:

Don't despair if you didn't win this time - these cards will be arriving in my Etsy and Folksy shops by the end of the week.

Tuesday Treat - New Product!

So today's treat involves a little bit of work on your part.....let me explain...

I'm in the process of designing some rose papercut cards, which I think will be great for a whole range of occasions. Definitely one for the "Ultimate Card Drawer". Yesterday I cut out one of the rose styles in plain paper and then tried it against various backgrounds. The design will be cut directly into a white square card with a coloured insert. Initially I had planned to use icecream pastels but stronger colours seemed to work best.

This is where you lovely people come in! Here's the deal:

• I'd love you to take a look at the various colour ways below and vote for your favourite(s) or even suggest a different colour!
• You can vote by leaving a comment here on the blog or by tweeting - make sure you include @rosieandtheboys in your tweet so that I spot it. 
• I'll put the names of everyone who posts a comment or tweets into a hat and my mum will pick one at random at 3pm on Thursday 15th March.
• The lucky winner will receive a box of 6 of these cards, all gift wrapped and gorgeous.

The winner will be announced on Friday morning. Please make sure you include contact information so I can get in touch to let you know if you've won. Remember the treat closes at 3pm on Thursday which gives you only 48 hours to take part.
