Sweet Stampin' Lilac and Lace

No comments about the weather please - I must live in the only place in the UK where it's been cloudy and wet!

Anyway, it's Team Abi's turn over at Sweet Stampin' this week and we're looking for your interpretations of our Lilac and Lace theme.  As usual my lovely teamies have worked their socks off on their scrummy projects.  AND I've got some new teamies, too - you'll meet them over the coming two weeks and I think you'll find there are one or two familiar faces.


I made an easel card to show off this gorgeous paper which is part of the K&Co Watercolour pad. I used my Martha Stewart PATP to get the lacy border.  The Tilda image is one of my faves - I love the ribbon on her dress and it's lovely to colour.  I cut her out with a Go Kreate circle which I then inked with Walnut Stain. 

I had a complete mare getting the lace to stick around the circle but once it was done I put some little lilac roses and rose buds from Wild Orchid Crafts around the edge.  I used lilac and cream flowers from WOC on the card base.  Finally I added a Doohickey tag which I had inked with Walnut Stain.  I love this tag - it cuts beautifully and as it comes in two pieces you get some dimension with it.  Do hop over to Sweet Stampin' and join in if you can.

Before I go can I just say a big "Welcome Back" to the loveliness that is Claire, who has had a wee break from her blog but is now back.  I missed you sweetie!

Hugs,

Tracey xx
