CR84FN 65 Wk #2



Morning all! It's week two of our colour challenge over at CR84FN! I love these pretty colours together, and I had just the right papers in my stash - a new stack from First Edition called Summer Breeze. This pad is stuffed with beautiful designs, some glittered and foiled, some double sided and the colours and patterns are gorgeous!

For my card I have used a piece from this stack that contained all the colours of our challenge, and with a glittered embossed effect too. After my glitter fest/mess from last week, it saved me the job of clearing up!


I teamed this pretty paper with a new die cut from Tonic Studios, Daisy Circle. I kept some of the little flowers from the offcuts, coloured them with some pale rose ink, and glued them together to add to the label. I added some clear gems to the little flowers, and sponged some rose ink around the edge of the doily.


The beautifully vintage style sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, Vintage Garden - Seed Packet, stamped in Frayed Burlap ink.


The tan stitched ribbon is from my local craft shop Flutterby Crafts, as was the paper pad and doily die!

I would like to enter this into this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team for some more inspiration:


                  Pauline - that's me!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
