Sadly the pic looks a bit washed out thanks to the dull and gloomy day we have here. These papers are from the Prima 6 x 6 Madeline pad which was recommended by my dear crafty friend Jo. They are really delicious and these browns, teals and greens just got my imagination into overdrive really quickly. You know how it is when you are inspired by certain colours and you put stash together from around your craft room and somehow it comes together so comfortably.
The only stamping is the sentiment which is a Bild Malarna stamp from Sweden that I bought from their stand at Ally Pally mounted using the oval nesties. I used the leaf and Flutterby punches from Papermania and added these vibrant green paper roses that were a pressie from one of my other special craft friends Judith. I finished off with cream and green gingham ribbon, some teal and olive rick rack and some buttons and brads. When I showed my OH the card he said "what do the buttons do"!
Hope you have had a better day weatherwise than us as it has been virtually non-stop rain all day here.
Thanks for popping by!

Typical OH comment! They just don't understand sometimes do they?
