However, I am now pleasantly surprised by this, and I actually quite like now!
So here are the colours this week, so way out of my comfort zone lol!
And here's my take:
I have made a rolled ribbon flower, my very first one - and they are so easy I couldn't believe it!
My daughter made one too in pink, they really look fab!
I have layered the ribbon flower onto some garnet card cut using a Nellie Snellen die, and threaded some green chiffon through the cut out edges. Then around the edges I have swiped some of that lovely Opal Dust made by Jo Sonjas, cut out a couple of butterflies and coated them with it too.In the centre of the ribbon I have used two layered buttons topped with a grey pearl.
I have pearl embossed the paisley on the green card using a Papermania stamp, and layered cream and garnet card to the bottom, scalloped with a Martha Stewart punch.
Added some ribbon to the middle and some gems to the bottom for some bling.
Finally went around all the edges of the panel with Versamagic Sage and Spanish Olive, and mounted onto cream card.
The sentiment is Waltzingmouse Stamps, and the little leaf is from the Papermania stamp set, think it's called Hampstead heath or something!
So on a totally different note, this is the sky this morning from my dining room window with some super airplane trails!
I think it's going to be a beautiful day!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx
