Out of my comfort zone!


These colours are so not me! I love this LOTV image die cut square and that was my starting point. I struggled to find some paper to co-ordinate with the main colour of her frock. I eventually found this digi paper that's been in my drawer for so long I don't know where it came from - sorry. I spotted her frock with a Copic and used the same on her hatband & flower. A little glossy accent on her bag clasp, mirror, her beads and hat flower and she was ready to go! The green card is the back! of co-ordinations whitewash and the brown is from MME Fine & Dandy recently purchased from Funky Farm Scrapbook Barn (brilliant service). The spots on both papers are actually more aqua than green and I think they match very well. The ribbon is self adhesive and was part of a long ago swap with the lovely Toni  (OAP1945). Thank you! I punched the little flower from a previously debossed scrap. The spotted buttons are Papermania and tied on with fine silver cord.

Thank you for looking.
