Colour Challenge, Brown …

 

 

 

Morning everybody, what you up to today?

The weather is miserable and I’m still trying to rest my knee so I’ve taken your advice (thanks for that!) and I’m spending some time crafting today

I’ve caught up with my cards so on everything I make from now I’m going to use something that I’ve bought and not used – I’ve set myself a challenge and I’m not going to buy anything new until I‘ve made a dent in the huge stash that I already have here!

On today’s card I used a K & Co paper pad that I’ve had for a while and it’s just been sat there in the pile getting ignored. I think papers are probably the main thing I have far too many of, I love them but can’t bear to use them as they’re so nice!

Time for our monthly colour challenge at the Ribbon Girl and this month it’s…

 

~~ BROWN ~~

 

Here’s a lovely inspiration picture for you (yum!!)

 

 

 

I enjoyed making this card, it’s an elegant stepper from Craftwork cards and we now have them in the shop at Lili of the Valley

 

 

October - Brown

 

I don’t usually put up many pictures but it’s so hard to take this from a good angle so I thought I’d just show you them all…
