Birthday Hyacinths

     My card today was done using the September recipe at the Crafty Chefs FB group - a group of crafters who play together each month because we like to stretch our comfort zone a bit.  One of the group puts together a 'recipe' of 4 things which MUST be used on your creation and another list of 3 things which CAN be used, and then each person shares their completed project by posting it to the FB page.  No prizes, no deadlines, no obligations, just a group of crafty friends having fun.  Feel free to join us any time you like.

     This month, Linda undertook the recipe and she came up with this:

MUST USE:
Simply square (square card base)
Glitter or Sparkle
Embossing (wet or dry)
Blue and Brown

Can Use:
Add flowers
Add pearls

     Here's my card - a small card, 4" x 4" and I made my own envelope for it.  I did use all the items on both lists.


Image printed in blue
Center hyacinth was white - colored w ProMarkers
Glitter added to center hyacinth (sorry - hard to see)
Image cut w Spellbinders die
Edges of image inked
Brown CS embossed with SU folder
Sentiment printed and cut w Avery Elle die
Pearls added to corner

     Challenges:
Angie's Digitals
Artsy Stampers
Aud Sentiments
Di's Digi Designs
Dragonfly Dreams
Dream Valley
Incy Wincy

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Blue and Brown is such a striking colour combination, you have cleverly woven in all the elements here and probably had a lot of fun in the process. x
