Robin's Egg, Lilac, and Bisque. How dreamy are these colours?
I've used a petal point card base, and created a base panel of some beautiful Websters Pages paper stitched onto some custom paper - I didn't have the correct shade of lilac, so I took a lilac Promarker, and coloured some Neenah Classic Crest to create the desired shade.
I then stamped a newsprint Design in Lilac Posy onto some white Classic Crest, and gently pounced some Distress ink in Old Paper over the top. I then cut them to size, and stitched them to some pearly pale Bisque shade card.
Then I cut a frame out of Melissa Frances paper, using a Marianne die, and topped it with a die cut dressform out of some more custom paper - I didn't have the right shade for the Robins Egg shade, so took a Promarker and coloured my own! The dress form is a Tim Holtz die, and is the sweet little cotton reel, with the blue thread wrapped around it.
I then finished off the card by assembling, and adding a fancy bow in seam binding topped with a pearl and rhinestone button, some paper roses and a Tiny Tag.

Well, we haven't had the snow yet, but it's forcast for tonight. So, I am taking my eldest daughter to the cinema to see Warhorse - she had the book for Christmas, and has just finished reading it, and is very keen to go. So, I'll make sure I bring some Kleenex with me, as I know it's a sad film!
Hope you're all having a fab weekend!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline
