My first Sarah Kay Challenge


I have never previously taken part in a Sarah Kay challenge as I don't own any of the stamps (yet!) but I was recently gifted a few by my friend Cathy, so I thought I'd have a go this week, and would use the outcome as my Docrafts image swap wallet for Vonnie.
Sarah Kay Challenge #11 is a trio of papers, which I have to say is right up my street as I have developed a serious obsession for multiple co-ordinating papers on cards recently LOL!

I used: base mottled green cardstock from the Papermill shop; 3 papers by K&Co; flowers by Prima; pearl brads and small gemstone flowers (which are actually blue in daylight!) by Papermania; seintiment by ge studio; ribbon from my stash. The inside of the wallet is decorated with the same flowery stripe paper as is used immediately behind the image on the card front. I also had a go at faux stitiching as one of the papers already had some as part of the design.

I love this Pauline, those papers are stunning. I'm a bit thick today, not really sure what you mean on my blog, are you asking what I use to colour with? I used Prismacolours.

Hi Pauline
This card arrived in the post today and is even more gorgeous in real life!! I honestly thought you had stitched the card - fantastic effect. It's gonna take me weeks to create anything like for you - thank you so much and the images are wonderful too. Better find me glue and thinking cap ..... xxxx
