Upsy Daisy

Hello again,

There's been an abundance of white space on all my cards recently so I was determined to use some colour and layers for the latest Freshly Made Sketch (by my very talented Colour Q team mate Jen:)








Such a simple sketch isn't it?  But it actually took me forever to make it work. Whichever shape I picked just didn't seem to balance on the card - I eventually opted for a circle of Authentique paper, added some die cut MFT daisies and a few sprigs from a Cheery Lynn flourish to balance it all out.  I also used the gorgeous colours over at The Card Concept. I think this one's classy and elegant. What do you think?

Thanks for popping over,

Claire x

    This. Is. Stunning. Your attention to detail is amazing...the wee strip of DP that borders the sides of the card, the pretty velum leaves, the paisley paper that anchors the daisies...every detail is so perfectly balanced! So glad that you chose to play along with us this week at CCC. Happy crafting :)
