I've used memento inks and glossy card for this project, the focal image made me think of all the lovely old 'Willow Pattern' chine that my grandma used to have in her china cabinet so I took inspiration from that to create this card. I've used various shades of blue memento inks to stamp the images, added a doily from my stash, some faux pearls, ribbon in shades of blue and white and finished off with a button and a tiny little bow.
Thanks for visiting today

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Claire! I too would love to know where you got the square doily.
ReplyDeleteReally striking & I love your use of the various blues with the doily. The pearls around the circular matting are delightful.

So beautiful Claire, I love the various blues that you've used. You've certainly managed to get the willow pattern feel to this.
