My Style

Well the challenge themes I've followed on today's project have given me the chance to create something that really is my style of card.  I'm using the card to support the 'Your Style' challenge at As You Like It Challenge and also the 'Lavender and Lace' challenge at Crafty Little Fairies.  And the themes couldn't be better as far as I'm concerned!  :0)

So, let's cover why this card is my style ...

Well, where do I start!!

1. My favourite LOTV character - I couldn't resist the latest set featuring James the bear and this is my first play with one of the newly released images.  
2. I've taken the trouble (in honour of James the bear) to paint him with my DI reinkers rather than reaching for my Copics.
3. Shapes - a lovely fancy nestie shape (for the image) and a shaped card.
4. Stitching - I've taken the trouble to do some stitching (although I regretted doing the nestie shape - far too many curves and corners to get around it neatlly!)
5. Pretty pastel colours - my top 3 colours are pink, aqua and purple
6. Papers - My favourite Papermania paper pad
7. Embellishments - Pearls are my 'go to' embellishments, and a must have on all my creations.
8. Pretty coloured twine and lace
9. Background clouds - I love creating these for the scene that it creates behind the image
10. Colour coordinated elements - Everything is in various shades of purple and lilac, including an element of the image where I sneaked on a spot of purple on the daisies.

Yup, this is just my style!!!  Hope you like it too.

ps - I've just realised that another reason this is 'my style' is that, as is quite common on my cards, I've forgotten to put a sentiment on it.

At least it keeps it appropriate for any occasion!

That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.   ;0)
