Good morning everyone, I can’t believe it’s a whole week since my last post – where on earth does the time go
Thank you all so much for your comments on my cards, they’re very much appreciated
We had a lovely weekend in Chester and were lucky with the weather, what a beautiful city. We had a day at Chester Zoo and also went to Liverpool …so three very full days!
The weather has been just horrendous since we got back, it’s awful to see all the floods on the news, we are fortunate here to be in an area that doesn’t get affected by it.
I hope you’re going to have a go at the challenge over at Lili’s Little Fairies, it’s an interesting one this week …WHITE WITH A HINT
You can any use Lili of the Valley image as it’s the colours that are important for this one; you should feature white as your main colour which is harder than you think (especially when you come to photographing it!) I’m looking forward to seeing the entries this week and what you come up with
Here’s the card that I made;
I chose blue as my second colour
I used Snow Cute, I cut him out to remove the background and then stamped a few more images and cut out the flowers. You can’t really see on the picture but the little penguin and the flowers are stuck on with Pin Flair so are raised up. I put a little yellow pearl in the centre of each flower
He’s sat on a hill using one of the papers from our Frosty Christmas paper pad – I love these blue and white papers and have used them a lot
Hope you like it, it’s hard to leave all that white space and I felt like it needed something else …but maybe sometimes less is more!
Have a lovely day
Awwwww, this is gorgeous Anne. That little cutie is number 1 on my wish list!!

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anne! Glad to hear that you all had a wonderful time on your little vacation!! Gosh .. the zoo .. I haven't been to one in AGES!! We need to find time to travel and go to the Zoo for my little boy, he'd love it. :)
ReplyDeleteCAS cards are extremely hard for me (as you probably know. LOLOL!!!), but gosh, you make them look STUNNING! I always love how the touches of color against a wall of white makes the card look so elegant and BEAUTIFUL! This is gorgeous!!! I really love it!
Big Hugs,
