Welcome to the first Polkadot Door Designs Blog Hop and Inspirational Challenge! A big THANK YOU to Sarah and Rebecca for inviting me to be a part of this! If you have just come from Kim's blog, then you are in the right place. If not, then you may want to start at the Polkadot Door blog first for instructions and prize details. Not only are there several prizes, but if you participate in the challenge, you could win a spot on the June Design Team!
The challenge is to use at least one inspiration from this image... the photo, the sentiment and/or the element (crocheted flowers). The photo inspired me to create a layout with a garden theme, and I used the sentiment for my title and journaling. The colors of the crocheted flowers inspired me to use the Gabrielle Collection by Bo Bunny, and I also added crocheted flowers to my layout. This is what I came up with...
The crocheted flowers are made by Prima. Aren't they beautiful?! I love the texture of them. The fence is a chipboard element made by The Dusty Attic (Picket Fence Border DA0175).
This beautiful butterfly was purchased from Kay's Kreative Korner. She has a great selection of butterflies and other gorgeous embellies.
The pearl fern leaf is made by Prima.
For my journaling I used tiny alphabet stickers with inked edges.
This chipboard element is also made by The Dusty Attic (Ornate Corner #4 DA0347).
The lace trim was hand-stitched onto my border.
In this corner I used Dusty Attic Botanic Accent #1 (DA0460). For a tutorial on how to do the 'Eyelet Lacing Tear' click here.
I used Thickers Alphabet Letters for my title. I outlined each letter with an opaque white pen to help it stand out more.
