Hello everyone!

I was disappointed when a crafty order didn’t arrive as hoped yesterday… but honestly, it’s not as if I don’t have any unused crafty supplies! So my entry for the first Color Throwdown challenge of March uses a new-to-me Poppystamps die set called Nordic Drifting Flowers.

I have to say that I completely overlooked this set when it was released last year. It was only when I saw it used on the Poppystamps website that I knew I had to have it! My inspiration is that very Poppystamps card – and I used Craft Consortium paper in the challenge combo of light brown, blue and dark brown.

I cut the die four times, once in each colour and again from the blue paper and then had a lot of fun assembling the flowers. I used a frame cut using a Pinkfresh Studio die set to house my images which I then arranged…. this part always takes me far too long because I always second guess myself. This time, I took photos of each iteration before I landed on my favoured layout – I think it helped having photos of previous arrangements to look at!

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!
