I made the background with a Creative Expressions Mask...Polka Dots....inking through the mask with Distress Ink using Brushed Corduroy and a bit of Cut 'n Dry and then with the mask still in place doodled around some of the dots with a Fine Liner Pen. And I make absolutely no apologies for using this gorgeous Penny Black Image...Cheerful...my new favourite. Paper pieced the flower with Bo Bunny Time Piece Dots and the leaves with Chocolate Journal...adding some of my favourite brown gingham ribbon and a Craftwork Cards In Circle Message...finishing off with a bit of doodling around the edges.
We have two yummy prizes this week for two lucky winners who will be chosen at random and announced next Saturday.....

Love the colours on this & it's one of my favourites from the new collection. That brown gingham is a joy. Husband safely off the roof - the tiles were very hot & he couldn't stay up there for too long. He's washing the windows today.
ReplyDeletePretty hot here down south.
Have a good weekend.
