Well hello there to you all – and a special hello to my new followers, lovely to have you pop by!
Quite a few of my favourite things have come together for this one.. Purple Pumpkin, Craft Queen and the Orange Paperie August challenge – I just loved this inspirational pic!!!!
Close ups first – My feature paper is a little blue-er (is that a word??) than the pic but it was as close as I had and I’m on Scrappy diet at the moment, so no more shopping – until I use up some of this stash!! I’ve saving up for the October craft show which I will go to with Mum 🙂
Lots of layers as normal… a real mix of flowers too.
One purple pumpkin button – I’ve used 4 on this layout… 2 calico and 2 pattern.
How pretty is that blue lace ribbon from Craft Queen!!
and the full layout…
The background is scraps of white card stock that I have run through my Sizzix using different embossing folders… I then just patch-worked them together and then covered with impasto and Gesso to stick them down…. I love how this worked out and it’s a FAB way to use up my off cuts. I will definitely be doing this again!
and another pic of me – what is going on here!!
Thanks for popping by – hope you all have a creative weekend 🙂
