Bright & Breezy
I've been having a fair few issues with my crafting recently so now is a good time to invigorate it with some colours I'd forgotten about for a while.
Challenges:
Card Patterns Sketch
Shabby Tearoom Gingham / Spots
Simply Create Challenges 'Fly With Us'
I loved this Card Patterns sketch this week:
This card was orginally going to be shades of purple, but somehow ended up cream, yellow and aqua.
It was nice to use my new silky crush ribbon it is soooo lovely, and makes great ribbons. I'm also heavily obsessed with chipboard hearts, they are so cool and chunky and I can use them anywhere!
The border is die cut and the butterfly was a tag which I decorated up with pearls and stamens.
For the sentiment banner, I used a Pink Paislee journal card as I thought it matched the paper, and cut it up. The buttons were half handmade - I cut 3 circles out of chipboard and covered them in glitter, then glossy accented them. I just layered them up with a smaller paper circle and buttons.
