City Crafter "Perfect Pair"




I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love ......

And as it's Tuesday and that means another challenge at City Crafter hosted this week by our lovely creator Kirsty ...
Kirsty has given us this lovely photo and 2 colours to work with for this challenge 

The challenge is to create 2 cards ... of the same design ... the main colour has to be as shown in the circles ... but you can use accent colours from the photo ...
Great challenge don't you think? ... Here's what I came up with


I'm struggling with photos lately so I apologise if they are a bit blurred


Seeing the inspiration photo ... I just had to go with dresses


These were cut on the Silhouette as were the cards ... the papers are from my huge box of scraps and forlorn papers ... some that I've had forever and always keep "just in case" ... in this instance the colours were just perfect! And I'm not sure if you can see ... but I even painted the tulle with matching distress stains.

Our Guest Designer this week is Lilia   a very talented lady who would love you to visit and say "Hi"
and our generous sponsor this week is Crop Stop ... somewhere else you need to visit ... so many fabulous goods for creating just about anything! 
Full details of the challenge and the prize can be found on the City Crafter blog ... along with the creations from our DT and our GD to give you inspiration should you need it ...
Every week we are blown away by your talents and inspired by you! Thanks so much to all of you who support us each week and new visitors are always welcome ... so don't be shy ... come and join us

Enjoy your day
