Hello there,
just squeaking in once again with this week's Merry Monday challenge. Here's the sketch. Which I flipped.
I pulled out an old SU! set (one of my first ever Christmas sets) for this and decided to do a bit of therapeutic paper piecing.
I wanted little fun pops of colour against the Crumb Cake background and honestly I don't think you can go wrong with polka dot paper! A few embossed snowflakes, paper piercing, button and twine finish it all off. Most unusually no bling!! Somehow it seems bright and fun enough with out it.
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
