Floral inspiration

Hello lovely people,

Ok, who is stealing days from the week when I'm not looking?!

Yes, it's Thursday again so get ready for a new challenge at In The Pink and this time we have a photo inspiration for you...


You could choose florals, vintage style, teacups, whatever inspires you from this photo as long as it has more PINK than any other colour of course!

We are delighted to be sponsored by The Hobby House for this challenge with a prize of a £10 voucher.

I have used a pre-coloured image from one of the LOTV art pads as it fitted the theme so beautifully with the pretty floral design and a teacup too!
I do love my Copics but these pretty toppers definitely save a bit of time and are absolutely gorgeous.

This is the first outing for my new MFT Die-namics inside & out stitched rounded square STAX dies (wow, that's a bit of a mouthful!) which I used to create a frame for the image.


I used one of the dies to cut an aperture and then trimmed the outside to make a frame which I raised up by popping several more frames cut from scrap card underneath.
I could have used foam pads but the result can be a bit wobbly looking and I find scrap card more effective and it adds a very subtle dimension.



Card recipe;
Tags: Sentiment tags - LOTV and Family Sentiment tags - LOTV
Dies: tiny butterfly set - Impression Obsession, MFT Die-namics inside & out stitched rounded square STAX
Numbers: magazine freebie stamps

If you haven't already done so then do pop over to In The Pink and check out the fabulously floral creations from the rest of the Pink Ladies.

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,


Challenges I am entering;
Noor! Design UK (something old - the sentiment tags are old favourites, something new - my new dies)

  15. I'm here at last - I seem to always be behind with my commenting now for some reason or other!

    Your card as always, is fabulous - such a clever way to use the artpad image by putting the frame around it - and it does match our photo inspiration really well! One day, I'll remember those artpads and put them to use!!

    Have a good weekend...
    Hugs
