Spots and stripes ... and a splash of green and blue

Beth has started pre-school and my free time seems to have shrunk into nothing ... how logical is that!!! Ellie has taken herself off to bed this afternoon complaining of not feeling well, ad Beth is sleeping off the excesses of this morning LOL!! So having done the ironing, made pizza dough for the children's tea, I sat down to have a go at three challenges:
Papertake weekly - spots and stripes
Stamp with fun - a fab sketch by Bev (which I have rotated)
A Spoonfull of Sugar - blue and green
I'm not sure about it now I have done it ... but there you go!

I watercoloured the image and distressed the edge in green ink. I cut out the image and matt with my trusty nesties and layered up the patterned paper onto blue from the same pack. I haven't any circular sentimens so I layered up a couple of buttons and fastened with ribbon. I added some green and blue wire ... haven't used this for ages. The space is in the top left corner is where the sentiment will go when I decide what to put.
