Colour Create #5 - Blue & Brown

Hi, the wind is howling & the the rain is pouring down, so I hope everyone is cozy at home today. I had to go to the hospital this morning for a bone scan, but I got home before the weather got too bad. I had to have a bone scan because the meds I'm on cause osteoporosis, so I'll have to have my bone density levels checked regularly. I was a little concerned about the scan, but it was fine & only took ten minutes. I'll get the results in April, so I'll forget about it until then.
I thought I would get a card made this afternoon, but by the time I'd got some bits & pieces together it was almost dark, so today's card is the other card I made yesterday - I know, two cards in one day!! Amazing!! :)

This week is the fifth week of the Colour Create challenges & the colours are blue & brown, with optional extras of pearls & lace, which was great, as I had the pearl string & lace left over from the Magnolia vs Stampavie challenge. I've just realised that ALL my recent cards are Tilda cards, I do love them, but maybe I need to use a different image once in a while. :) I coloured this Tilda before I had decided what I was going to do with her & then I couldn't decide what she was to sit on. After faffing about for ages I remembered seeing a card somewhere where she was sitting on a flower, so I went with that. I'm sorry I can't tell you whose card I thought of, but I hope they won't mind me using their idea.


Materials used:
  • 6x6 white card
  • Patterned papers - HOTP 'Swirly Tan' & Deja Views 'Blue Raspberry Paisley'
  • Papermania flowers
  • Sentiment - WOJ
  • Whispers pens
  • Everything else from my stash

So that's it for today, hope you like the card, thanks for visiting.

Love & light.

This is so beautiful Kirsten. Sensational use of papers and embellishments (love those pearls). Tilda looks fab on the flower. You've chosen the shades of brown and blue really well. Thanks for joining the Colour Create Challenge.
