Loved this week's colour combo at the ColourQ. The blues and olive are so striking together - hmmm, hmmm good :) Paired them with this week's Freshly Made Sketch.
Decided to buck the masculine option and play with some more of my Verve flowers. These are from the Dream Big set. I fussy cut the two largest and then layered them. The two butterflies were the finishing touch as the circle seemed a bit plain to me.Yes, the flower and butterfly rut continues...sorry! Just that time of year. Take them while you can get them because soon enough I'll be using my beloved PTI maple leaf die all the time LOL!
Phew! Survived yet another Sports Day! The weather was absolutely perfect this year - warm but not too warm with a small breeze. Kids had a great time, did my stint at the concession stand, took some pictures, and got to catch up with lots of parents I don't get to chat with very often (that's what happens when your kids get older and you don't all hang out in the playground after school any more). Great fun was had by all and our Juneuary weather (it's the coldest June we have had here in about 45 years!) took a tiny vacation and we all got a bit sun kissed today :)
Wishing you all glorious weekend!

This could pass for masculine with the navy blue, well maybe not. It is beautiful regardless!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! Juneuary....you're funny! This color combo really shines in your capable hands...look at all that cutting! WOW. I also adore that darn die you've got poking out from behind the white...and the rounded corners. Fantastic take on the sketch, Marisa!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Marisa. I love that light blue flower...totally outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI see you're on a "roll" with the flower stacking...a fabulous effect, indeed! The colors on this card are so calm and soothing.
