Coffee and Cream

Today I felt like making something a little less vibrant and dramatic, and was keen to use a new colour combination for me. This is my entry for this weeks SCS Sugar Nellie Forum where the challenge this week was 'flowers'.  I really enjoyed colouring this in such soft colours, and I decoupaged the second layer to allow her legs to fall outside the nestie.

I will also be entering this in the Quixotic Challenge - 27 as the theme is embossing.  I have previously bought some excellent embellishments from Quixotic, and have used a lot of their coffee and cream pearls to embellish this design.  They have a great choice of pins, and pearls etc, that you can get a real goody bag from there without breaking the bank.  

 

I am also entering this in the craftycardmakers challenge, as they want to see the decorated inside of your card.   I usually do this, but never photographed or managed to get 2 pictures in one post before! yay!

and:

SimonSaysStamp as the theme is pink or blue, with green and brown.  Now it might not look that obvious, but her socks and ribbon are coloured in pastel green promarker.

Crafts and Me - distressing

Creative Inspirations - distressing.

I used HOTP papers, coffee and cream pearls, ribbon, flower and bumble-bee charm from stash.

Good luck to all this weeks entries in these challenges :)
