WOJ recipe

This week's WOJ challenge is a recipe: 3 patterned papers, 2 flowers and a button or brad.


I love these Basic Grey papers and am getting a bit worried as I can't find them anywhere and I am almost out of them :(. I watercoloured Willow and distressed the edges. I matted her onto brown cardstock, and layered up the papers using this week's JCBC sketch. I flipped the sketch as I thought the scallop edge would look like clouds! The ribbon is gorgeous velvet but not good for tying bows in! I know I have technically used 4 flowers, but I have only made 2!! For the middles I have used adhesive gems. I haven't added a sentiment. I tend to do that just before I send the card.

I need to start taking straighter photos of my cards!!

Beth is still poorly and needy - bless her. She has helped a bit with this as she was sitting on my knee (not a very helpful thing to be doing!)

Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Willow with umbrella
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Mellow, cardstock from stash
Embellishments: Prima flowers, adhesive gems, ribbon and button from stash
