Guest at Papertake Weekly

Hiya Peeps,

It's me again. I'm worn out and with good intentions this week of joining the gymn.  Even more to juggle in my life but something that needs to be done! Onwards and Upwards as they say...  I was asked sometime ago if I would Guest Design for Papertake Weekly which I had to put off until now, due to my busy workload,  but now they have me for the whole of July so I hope I was worth waiting for, lol.........






The theme for this week's challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Buttons.  The sponsor this week is Lili of the Valley so what better excuse was there to use one of my gorgeous LOTV stamps.  Although I've just realised I haven't coloured the spots on her hat, lol, never mind.


Aren't they just soooooo cute.



Here's a close up of the lasercut chipboard dragonfly coated in black acrylic paint.  Very intricate wouldn't you agree.  You can get these lasercut chippies from Make It Crafty and Quixotic Paperie.

Ingredients:-
Image by Lili of the Valley
Papers by Websters
Lasercut Chipboard Pieces (corners, dragonfly and swirl flourish) from Make It Crafty or Quixotic Paperie
Lace, Seam Binding, Brad from stash
Flowers from 99p shop and WOC
Martha Stewart PATP
Nesties

I have entered my card into the following challenges:-
Craft your passion - Anything Goes
Oh La La - Summer Flowers
Squigglefly - Summer
DreamValley - Ribbon
Stamptacular - 2 of something (corner flourishes)
Challenge up your life - 1 Die, 1 Lace, 1 Brad
Alphabet - I for Insects
Wags n Whiskers - Summertime
Lili of the Valley - Celebrate
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes
