Happy Friday !! Most Friday make me smile a little, mostly because I
know I have a weekend ahead of me. It also helps that spring is in full swing here in Victoria, oh we get a little rain.. ok well a lot but
all the beautiful cherry blossoms are in bloom as are the daffodils and
crocuses.
We have a new Playing in Paradise challenge for you today , Linda is our
hostess this week and the theme of the challenge is to use Banners.
I seem to be idea challenged as of late so I used the sketch from this week’s Tuesday MorningSketches to help me along.
Isn’t this Basic Grey paper pretty, I spotted it this past weekend and
could not wait to use it. I lightly inked the edges then added a brown base, I
did the same to each of the banners. I heat embossed the sentiment then finished
with some gems.
Supplies:
Natural white and brown card stock, Designer Paper – Basic Grey, Verve –
Birthday to You, Spellbinder die cut and gems.
Stop by the
Scrapbooker’s Paradise blog to see what the challenge team has created, join us
for the challenge and you will be eligible to win a prize.
Cheers,
Nina
This is gorgeous! Beautiful papers!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully orchestrated. Thank you for this. Keep smiling and creating.
ReplyDeleteI love the layout you chose. It's a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME take on the sketch, Nina! Love the soft papers you used (and those fab Nesties...those are on my long long wishlist!) And I'm just going to tell you that we have another 5 cm of snow today, and won't see flowers for at least another 4-6 weeks.

Hi Sis,
ReplyDeleteYou pulled it off again, I'd have a hard time choosing which I like best. Both have the Shabby Chic look, a nice balance of both! You rock!
