Hi everyone the continuing theme over at MMM is FRENCH and
This week we want to see the
TRICOLEUR
added to your projects - that would be the colours BLUE, WHITE AND RED.
I struggled last week and resorted to a digital project and this week is a nightmare!
Red, White and Blue is not a colour combo that I use regularly and I'm very short on appropriate stamps. I was sorting through a box of small stamps and came across a set of small patterned squares, one of which was a fleur de lys design. So this is what I created, what do you think?
Recipe:
4" square base card
Fleur de lys patterned tile stamp
SU Rose Red ink
Stormy Skies DI
SeeDee sentiment
Red gem
Hopefully next week's challenge will be easier:)
We had a lovely day yesterday, we popped down to Portsmouth and took Charlie out for lunch:)
Cute eh? Very biased I'm afraid :-)
Thanks for your visit, please leave a comment so that I can visit you.
I love it, Val! Your layout is just great and the sentiment around the centrepiece is genius! xx

ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful card, but it is totally outshone by beautiful pictures of Charlie - can't believe how big he is now. He is totally gorgeous and that smile will have girls swooning over him when he is older, I am sure!

ReplyDeleteWow, I really love how you've used the theme of red, white and blue! (had to laugh when I read you had trouble with it too - same here!). The little tile is such a beautiful image and I love the writing going round the outside - very clever!
