I was inspired this morning to play along with one of my favourite colour challenges CR84FN, with their colours of plum, light plum and kraft.
And here's my take:
I have used a kraft card base, and stamped two doily images from Waltzingmouse Stamps Dainty Doilies set, in Memento Rich Cocoa and distress ink Dusty Concorde.
I then cut two scalloped circles, one in plum felt, and a larger on in kraft card, then stitched together with my brand new sewing machine that I had for christmas! I'm slightly ashamed to say I have never used it before today, and I was very relieved to find it was easier than I thought!
I then stitched the panel onto the stamped kraft card stock - I found this difficult but only because I really didn't want to cover the beautiful pattern I made using the doily stamps!
The focal image is a stamp by Inkadinkadoo, and is coloured using Promarkers.
The sentiment is also from Dainty Doilies and the little tag is from WMS Bitty Banners, stamped in Dusty Concorde and Rich Cocoa.
Finally added some stickles for some shimmer!
