Pretty Paisley

Hello, and welcome!

It's that time of the week again.....er...it is Wednesday, isn't it?......so that means I'm gonna show you my DT card for today's post at stretchnbubbles.blogspot.com.....OH! I am so enjoyin' being on the team....and I get to play with all these wonderful stamps........woohoo!

Trouble is, I'm still really nervous about actually sittin' down and creating something.....but last week's Christmas card seemed to go down okay, so fingers crossed for this one, lol!

This week, I chose to play with the Paisly digi stamp.........which you can grab for self I've always associated the paisley pattern with the male gender, but that's probably because my Dad used to have a paisley-patterened scarf, when I was a wee girl....and does anyone remember those BRIGHT paisley ties that were popular, a few decades back....ha!

Well, why should the fellas get to keep it for themselves......here's my very girlie take on it.......

I used a Craftworks Cards handbag....layered the top bit with this pretty scrap of embossed paper (no idea where I got it!), then covered the bottom bit with flowery paper that came in a freebie pack..........

I coloured up the Paisley pieces with various Promarkers, to tone with the DP.....arranged the pieces into this funky flower shape, and layered up with a diecut open flower, and a button from my stash........these were then added to several pieces of pink tissue paper scalloped circles that I had cut out, and then scrunched up for dimension.....the whole thing was then stuck down onto pink felt...you can't actually see in the photo, but I embossed the felt with a Cuttlebug flower folder....looks nice "in the flesh"...ha!

I lay down a strip of webbed ribbon, which I'd coloured with Promarker....and then....one by one.....stuck down each of those tiny beads....there are 738 of them.........NAH!........the web ribbon was stuck down with PVA glue, so just poured on the beads while it was still wet.......there might be 738 of 'em, though...lol......

Arteeesteeeek view for your perusal.........:D

And there you have it.....I really like the Paisley image, and it'll probably be poppin' up on a few more creations....keep your peepers peeled, lol!
