Catkins

I was in the middle of decorating – but when my new fairy stamps from LOTV arrived in the mail box yesterday, I just had to play with them. I wanted to make this a girlie card – but not in pink – so I’ve used shades of orange, which is something quite different for me.

Now back to the painting!!!

What I used –

Image – Catkins by LOTV – coloured with Promarkers

Nitwits papers – Ancient Age and Antibellum

Dies – Lavish branch from Memory Box and Magnolia Doohickey Swirl

Ribbon from my stash

Pearls and charm – The Ribbon Girl Flowers from Wild Orchid crafts

Lovely, unusual colours. The papers go together well and the orange matts make them pop. The flourishes and the branch look really elegant, along with those lovely flowers and I like the little dragonfly almost hidden in the ribbon. Thank you, Jan x
