COLORMESCRAPY # 51 ~ BEAUTIFUL

Morning!
Well I am very lucky as I have a special scrappy friend with me today ~ none other than the lovely Lizzy Hill, we have indulged in citrus tarts and coffee so far, and now I hope to channel inspiration from her :) Lizzy is waving excitingly from Orange .
Now down to business. The new challenge is up at ColorMeScrappy and it is a lovely colour combo. I love the greens .




And then the sketch
Now I was influenced by the sketch and I'm sure if you look really hard you will see the sketch in there ......



I was really happy with how this turned out. I had a lot of fun using texture paste, sprays and inks and using my stamps ( something I am making an effort to do more of)
I used Tim Holts Distress stains on my stencil and on the stamp of the flower .
The photo was taken in beautiful Tuscany.
Hope you can join us in this fabulous colour combo.

Now off to scap  with Lizzy :)
Hope your day is a good one, mine is going to be.
Oh and seeing I don't really do cards I was really pleased with the Birthday Card I made my daughter. The lace on the card is from my going away wedding top and the flowers are from a very old forty styles hat that was one of my old aunts and I actually wore for my daughter's christening.

Love and Peace & Sunshine

I love the soft muted tones on your background paper, as well as the beautiful textures you've introduced. These really enhance your photograph. Cheers, Di
