This weekend I have the house to myself, which is something that almost never happens. I started the day by doing a bit of housework, mostly to justify spending the rest of my day creating! Unfortunately you will have to wait a little while to see most of my creations as I was working on projects for the ESAD Blog Hop to celebrate the start of Sale-A-Bration, so pop back on 24th to check them out.
I did get make a couple of other things that I can show you, the first of which was a card inspired by three challenge blogs - the colours are from the challenge at Colour Q, the sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches, and I am also joining in Stampin' Royalty's challenge to add fabric to a project.
I was a bit worried the Flirtatious fabric wouldn't go with the image, but after cutting some strips 1.5cm wide I frayed the edges and then added some pearls and I think it actually goes quite well. The image of course is from Elements of Style which I stamped on water colour paper and coloured using my Aqua Painters. I finished off with some butterflies and more pearls. I have left a sentiment off this card it would be a good card for a number of occasions - Birthday, Thank You, Mother's Day, even a Sympathy card.
Happy Stamping
Very nice Monique! Your focal panel is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove these colors against the gray background!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Monique, just so pretty, I like the idea of leaving the sentiment off the card until you know what you want to say! Great idea, thanks.
