Pin It Now!
Today we were
finally SNOWED IN! I have so been craving a snow day. Amidst the boys' wet clothes, mopping up bootprints, and chucking wood in the stove, I made a bright bouquet of Fresh Vintage flowers.
I love the color combo of shabby Basic Grey, Wisteria Wonder, and Poppy Parade. A little Lucky Limeade to tie it all together.
The scalloped circle is a die cut from Perfect Pennants, laced together with a little Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon from Sale-A-Bration. A 1-3/8" circle punch of Lucky Limeade fills in the center, and hand-colored and cut bouquets from Fresh Vintage. I spritzed a little Basic Grey and Lucky Limeade here and there to ink up the Confetti White cardstock even more.
An Antique Brad cinches the center of a seam binding ribbon bow. My thought was that it looks like a little hand-tied bouquet, for a shabby-chic look. Shabby chic doesn't come naturally to me, but I really love the look when I see it!
I used
The Friday Mashup's sketch and theme FM46 for my inspiration...
As well as
Cupcake's Creations color challenge. Excellent combo!
Here's the view of the tree outside my window today. I. LOVE. SNOW.
Have a blessed & creative day!
