Pati in Peach



 Happy Wednesday! I got some more colors of ProMarkers for my birthday and one of the color families I was happiest to get was the peach color family. This is an Elizabeth Bell digi called Pati's Kisses. My papers are digital papers from Sherry K Designs. I made the flower on the front with burlap, polyester fabric and gold tulle. I singed the edges of the polyester fabric and tulle. I've hand-stitched around the edges both inside and out. My sentiment is a freebie from Paper Dreams of Mine.




 My flower on the inside is a burnt edge flower with a button center. My ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I did actually put ribbon on the front, but completely covered it up, lol!

Ava in Pink and Yellow



Sorry I've been away. Our landlord gave us the opportunity to move to a nicer apartment, but only gave us a week to do it! So, last weekend I was moving. Glad it's over and so glad to be in the nicer place.

This weekend I've been playing with making my own flowers. There are so many tutorials out there. The flower on this card is a burnt edges flower. Quite fun! I actually only had white fabric, so I colored it with my ProMarkers. The image is from Bugaboo - Ava Flower. The patterned paper is hard to see. It's a yellow paisley from Colorbok. The solid papers are from my stash. The pink paper is embossed with swirls. The yellow ribbon over the lace is organza (I colored it with my ProMarkers as well). This is the first time I've tried stitching. Boy does it take a long time! I'm not one to do much sewing. I'd rather use a safety pin instead of sew a button back on, lol. But, several of the flowers I've tried require sewing... maybe I'll get faster with practice!
