Cathy is our challenge hostess for the WTUI this Thursday. Her challenge was a great opportunity for me to actually use an offcut of patterned paper - normally I end up binning them. But then, I made an envelope to match because it was an off-size card, and ended up with another offcut of DP from that, sigh... You can find her challenge HERE.
Scrap of paper on table crimped and edge torn. There was a bit of card in my background box with blue, used for a mop-up job: I added Broken China, Victorian Velvet and Stormy Sky DOX. Stencilled a Carabelle stencil over the right side with gesso, and sprinkled some violet Brusho over it. Added the crimped piece. TH Wildflower Stems 1 & 2 cut from assorted card (kraft, purple, watercolour paper) DOX on the flower, SN clear glitter on the purple one. Raffia tied around and a bow added. Matted onto kraft with distressed edges, then a white base. 7âe x 5.5âe . Used another piece of similar DP to make a custom envelope.

So pretty Sabrina! I always forget crimping but it adds great texture and dimension behind your lovely blooms! The whole card & envelope are wonderfully cohesive and so beautiful!

A potpourri of delight! Rich colors and textures that beg to be touched. Your raffia bow weights and ties your wildflower composition together so nicely.

A GORGEOUS card, Sabrina. Full of beautiful textures, colors and patterns. The creamy yellow of the tie and the yellow-orange iof the blossom contrast so beautifully with your blues/violets in the bg.
