Lilac and Green

 Good Morning Peeps,

 

It's very  dark and miserable here this morning so just the day for a little crafting, but before I do any crafting I would like to put this card on, I made it last week to a sketch and I am not too sure I like the papers I chose, it looks a bit fussy and the colours do not show up very well in this photo.

 

The papers are by Crafters Companion, the butterfly image is a Lavinia stamp coloured with Copics, with an added bow and enamel dots. 

 

 This is the sketch I followed:

Good Afternoon Peeps,

Lovely last few days with the weather so much cooler and able to get things done.  We had rain yesterday and today so I have been able to do some crafting.

 

I have an ATC for you today made for the challenge at Tag-along and ATC's challenge.

The image I used is from Sheepski I fussy cut her out and coloured parts with Copics and paper pieced her dress. The background paper is by Catherine Pooler and I added some small die cut hearts.

I love this image as it reminds me of the 60’s when we wore underskirts of many layers of net which we washed and starched until they were so stiff they scratched your legs “oh happy days”.

 

Have a cool afternoon!!!
