ATC World - Something Blue

I had no idea what to do with this swap so I googled 'blue' and there were lots of flowers............ then roses.  I downloaded several of them as I formulated a plan.  I already had my base - Truth Cards, a freebie from WithWildAbandon - just needed a focal point and blue roses were it!



I printed several of the roses to size and cut them out, selected three after trying them against the backgrounds. 



 I now needed to fill the empty spaces so I stamped a border - is that stitching?!!!!! - and then added the ribbon to bring depth. 






 Yep! round the corners, all done.


They may not look much but an awful lot of thought and research has gone into these.  I believe that I am finally getting the hang of these little works of art .............. I do hope so!

ATC is enamelled, Moon is glittered with howling wolf placed over.

Backing paper, ribbon, peel offs and a tissue butterfly.

Beautiful swaps - thank you so much girls for being my Partners and thank you Resi for hosting.
