PanPastels - Add a Flower

Woah, can we rein in the time a bit? These weeks are passing by way too fast.

But we do have another fantastic challenge at PanPastel UK Challenge Blog

Do you like adding flowers to your projects and cards? Then why not show us what you are creating.


I have a sewing theme card - well it is one of my most favourite themes, so I hope you are not getting bored of it, and I have made the most enormous pom-pom flower using a new Sizzix die and using tissue paper from a dress making pattern. I gave this card to my DiL for her birthday.



 I used PPs on the backing paper and masked over the DP with a button mask, I stamped the dress form with embossing ink and then used PPs to colour it in and I also used PPs over stamped dress pattern tissue paper to create the backing behind the dress form.

I love the collage layout and as you can see I added some embellishments, but my favourite is the cotton reel labels. They have been created from original reels, scanned in and printed.


Our fabulous sponsor Your Creativity Store, is generously providing the winner with a trial set of colours. So why not pop over to see what the amazing design team have been making and also go take a look at what Your Creativity Store has to offer.

Have a great week ahead. This is a scheduled post as I will be in Paris to celebrate my birthday - a special treat from hubby. See you when I get back.

luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
