Here's hoping today finds you safe and well, and may you find time to relax and unwind this weekend. I find crafting does that for me, so long as Mr Mojo sticks around.
For my card today, I've played with the colour purple, using it for the image, the DP, and some of the cardstock die cuts. My copics worked their magic on the image, and then I've used chalk to shade in the background.
To add to the sewing theme of the image, I made good use of a stitching stencil to add some faux stitching to the bottom of the card. The butterflies and corner dies have all been stamped with a bit of gold for added interest, while the white doily and floral die cut add a nice bit of contrast.
Supplies used:
Image from The Paper Shelter - Cute Dressmaker
Prima Paper - from the Fairy Flora collection
Cheery Lynn die - Exotic Butterfly Small
Whimsy die - Corner Dies set
Spellbinder die - Fantastic Flourish 1
Thanks for visiting, and may your day be beautiful and sunny! (Wishful thinking)
