123 April Challenge

Had fun with this month's 123 challenge which is:
Colour: Lime Green
Word: Really
Technique:  Use Fabric

Went through my stash of fabric and found a white napkin with a fab waffle weave texture, some tiny black and white gingham and a lovely textured gauzy fabric which I incorporated in this LO for the fabric element.  My title reads "You really have no idea how gorgeous you are" .

Used some very old Scenic Route pp, a Sass Lass border and recycled some Prima packaging which I punched and added a sweet rubon.   The black flower is velvet... I layered it with a doily which I hand dyed a lime green and a lovely lace flower and topped off with some Prima bling.

I love using Basic Grey doily papers with glimmer mist, really gives a soft and dreamy effect.. used some key lime gllimmer mist for my background.  Finished off my LO with a gorgeous chipboard flourish from Dusty Attic which I painted black to make it pop and used it as a frame for my photo.



A Little Toot

Had a quick look at my dashboard last night and noticed my LO on the screen and realised I had won the Get Picky Inspiration challenge.. so excited!! I loved this challenge the inspiration photo was absolutely gorgeous.. so girly and full of butterflies.. right up my alley!  As the winner I get to create a LO for next months challenge.. hopefully I'll do it justice.
I also have some news which I will be able to share with you early next month.. very excited!!

Busy Busy Busy

I probably wont be blogging much in the next week as I really have to get some DT work done.. will show you some sneaks as I get them done.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love... I just love receiving all your gorgeous comments, they really make my day :)
