#105 Brown Sugar Challenge

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

Its hard to believe that we are into a new month already, is it me or does anyone else think this year is flying by.  Well dear I say it, its Friday again and its time now for another challenge for Brown Sugar.

Our theme this week is Colour.




So here is my project -


The size of this card is not quite 6x6.  I am trying to use up what I've got in my stash so I apologise for not knowing the brand of the patterned paper I used and I thought it was the closet to the colour palette we had to used.  The image from our sponsors was coloured in with my promarkers and I attached yellow card candy to highlight the flower centres.  It was mounted onto a decorative circle from Spellbinders and then mounted onto blue card stock from my stash.  The flowers are from wild orchid crafts.


The kraft and blue flourishes are from a Spellbinders D-lites die - Corner Sprigs and the little flower in the bottom right had corner was made with Spellbinders D-lites die - Blooms 2 the centre is a blob of 3d collal glue with glitter over the top.  The birthday wishes stamp is from a freebie collection I received in a magazine stamped onto kraft card and punched out with a stampin up label punch.  The bling swirl is from a set I got out of Works bookshop ages ago and never used.


 Our Sponsors this week is








Prize - 3 digi images of winners choice
