HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hello everyone - I hope everyone's celebrations over the weekend went well, I'm sorry to say that I did not wait up for midnight and went to bed at a bout 10.30. Am I the only one or did anyone else think that there wasn't anything worth watching on the TV? Got woken by the fireworks though and then again at 2.30am when my daughter rolled in!!
OK so it's a New Year and what better way to celebrate than taking part in one of my favourite challenges Simply Stampin'.
They have a sketch for us to follow this week - take a look


I found this to be quite a challenging sketch (which is the whole point I guess) but after a lot of thought and deliberation this is what I came up with


My colours are from the new In Colour palette - Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade and some added Whisper White. I also used the Pennants Punch and the Boho Blossoms Punch. The stamped bird is from my Everything Eleanor set and the pennants were stamped with the Pennant Parade set. A few pearls and ribbon finished the card nicely.
Thanks for joining me today - hope to see you again soon - Jacqueline xx

  7. Oooh, very bold and dramatic colour combo, it makes for a very striking, eyecatching card! I love how the birdie is perched on the ribbon and the flowers between the bunting is a lovely touch!
