So the thought that I would be able to sit and make messy four days after my last post was a little optimistic! But FINALLY last night I did something!!
Before going any further I want to say a warm welcome to my new followers, Maritza, Leslie, Julie, Karen S and Little K - thanks so much for looking at my humble blog!
I had left a pile of stuff out on the craft table before I went away and once I'd removed the 3 week layer of dust(!) I decided to use it up rather than put it away so it is a similar make to a previous card I posted before the holiday.
I opted for cream tones throughout with the image only having the splash of colour and stitched everything!
Striped background paper from Anne- Marie designs and the square layer behind the image has a muted cream/ivory swirl pattern (doesn't show up very well in the pic), which is from an old Papermania pad.
All edges distressed with Antique Linen DI and added some Stickles to the image edge and also to the champagne glasses and drops.
Two lots of lace from my stash, some ivory ric rac braid (to hide the lace join), ivory organza ribbon, a layered flower ('stickled again!), some pearls and a few pins to finish.
Oh and a stamped banner sentiment.
Inside decorated to match.
