Hello lovely people,
It's another exciting day for me today...no, not another DT...lol!
This morning I am off for coffee (and maybe cake?!) with a lovely lady I met in blogland (that's you Sue!) and I am very excited to meet her in person!
Meanwhile, it's time for a new challenge at As You Like It and our theme this time is...
YOUR FAVOURITE...BRIGHTS OR PASTELS
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!
Our sponsor this time is Sweet Pea Stamps
I am definitely a fan of pastels as I love the soft romantic look they give, and I was in a purple mood for this floral design; my fave colour after pink!

If this looks quite a vibrant pastel colour then it may just be the computer screen; I find this looks different on my 2 screens and it is properly pastel IRL!
The sentiment was generated on my computer so I could fit it on this cute tag and I love to layer tags up with twine and a charm; it looks so sweet!

Oh, this is a beauty Kat! Perfect layering, and I love the flowers! don't think I have that one yet!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour, though I am fond of both brights and pastels. I get bored easily, so always feel the need to vary. If I *had* to pick a fave, it'd be neither bright, nor pastel, but neutrals instead, lol. x
This is so pretty Kat. Love the flowers, the shape the pretty papers.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your coffee.

So pretty Kat - I love the colour combo and lovely clean design. I don't kniw if I could choose between bright or pastel! - depends on the image - probably 'muted' would be my sit on the fence choice lol hugs Judith x
