***Short & sweet mid-week post - pre-scheduling on Thurday night for Friday morning***
Using the May sketch at Pixie Dust Paperie (still open for a couple of days).
I found the colour palette very challenging & difficult to match up to any of my stash but ultimately I was delighted with the way it turned out, which is what I love about these colour challenges!
I had fun layering up a few bits & pieces above the photographs, namely Emma's Shoppe chipboard, Journal card, pleated punch strip (left over from my last layout!) & cut-out doilies from my Restoration papers.
Supplies:-
Printed paper - Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe "Books"
Crate paper - Restoration - Doilies (& reverse side)
Border Stickers & fussy-cut doilies - Crate Paper "Restoration"
Metal rose brad - Dear Lizzy for American Crafts - Enchanted
Netting - Webster's Pages - Vintage Inspired Netting
Alphas - ABC Stickers - Lily Bee Design
Thickers alphas - American Crafts "Doll"
Chipboard stickers, Journaling card - Crate Paper "Emma's Shoppe"
Tissue flowrs - Studio Calico Notions
Punched & pleated strip - EK Success punch
Raffia (taken off soap-packaging)
