WMSC & colourQ

Hi all, I'm getting this in quick as I'm in the middle of packing for hols, and trying to entertain 3 kids, so I'm a bit late to this week's WMSC!

For colour inspiration I have used the lovely combo from colourQ, and the sketch from Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge.






I have made a card for my daughter, who is going to be 10 whilst we are away. I know I have left it very late to make her a card, the day before we go away lol!



I have used the large pattern stamp to create the background on some Baja Breeze card, using Versamark. I distressed the edges with Faded Jeans distress ink.


I stamped the pretty dress from You're Lovely onto some pink patterned paper from Dovecraft Garden Party stack, and wrapped some green chiffon ribbon around the middle. I distressed the edges with Pink Lipstick distress ink.

I then layered the dress onto a die cut using some green card from Stampin' Up, it could be Lucky Limeade, or Certainly Celery, but it was the nearest I had to Kiwi Kiss! I stamped the little flower onto it in Peeled Paint distress ink.



I layered this onto a die cut oval doily. I added some blue seam binding and bakers twine, and some punched butterflies.

Thats all from me, gotta pack, and clean the house!
