Well I’ve been wasting time this week, crafting and checking out my favourite blogs and finding lots of lovely new ones as well! I found a challenge site called The Paper Players and they have a colour challenge this week. Their design team have created so many stunning cards, it inspired me to try these colours together too.
I thought I would try the grid technique again but this time use 2 colours Baja Breeze and River Rock. I also stamped the blossoms from Elements of Style onto watercolour paper, coloured them and cut out a couple to attach to the tag.
My daughter’s violin teacher had to go to hospital for knee surgery just before Christmas, she is back home now and we might go and visit her next week if she’s up to visitors. I thought I might make a couple more cards using the grid technique and give them to her as a little gift from us. The last time I gave her a few cards it made her so happy, she said they were so beautiful and hopefully she’ll really like these grid ones too.
