Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop

Morning!

Hope you are enjoying the Easter break? Papertrey Ink's monthly challenge has hopped around again and this time it's based on a gorgeous black and white pic fused with embroidery:








I love the pops of colour against the grey so this and the embroidery was my inspiration. Unfortunately my sewing skills are on a par with my drawing skills - totally disastrous. However, I did manage to embroider the centre of the Doodlie-Do blooms, using the doodled lines as a guide.  I would have loved to have done the leaves as well but my collection of embroidery floss is severely limited due to my totally inadequate sewing skills! A touch of bling in the centre of the flowers and it was all done.

Hope you get the chance to ink those stamps up this weekend!
