Lavender and Lace Blog Hop


Good morning fellow bloggers!  It's that time again, for another exciting blog hop at Just Inklined.  This month, Gaynor is our talented hostess, with the challenge theme....Lavender and Lace.  So we are in for a bit of a change from the traditional colours for this time of year, as the DT share their lovely creations.  Be sure to follow along, leaving comments along the way, for your chance to win one of the spotlight prizes of a free image.  Here is the blog order...just in case you go astray.

Gaynor, Karen J., Dawn, Tammy, Jak, Lori, Karen L., Joyce (that's me)


This sweet image is titled Batchelors Button, and was a dream to colour with a combo of pencils and markers and a touch of added sparkle.  As you may notice, I've cut it out with a circle die and the 'Out of the box' technique.  I find these floral images are very well suited to Sympathy/Thinking of You cards, and of course they fit perfectly into a lacy theme.

Supplies used:
Prima Paper from the Fairy Flora collection
Cheery Lynn die - Ankara Lace
Sentiment from CC Designs - Elegant Greetings
Other items - lace, gems, bow, stickles

I do hope you enjoyed your visit, and all the other hops along the way.  Have yourselves a lovely day!
