Dream Valley Challenge 30 - Earth Tones

Good afternoon, my lovelies! It's time for another challenge at Dream Valley and this fortnight we're asking for Earth Tones. Think browns, creams, greys, russets, maybe a touch of green...

Our sponsor is Bead Crafty who are offering one lucky person a massive £20 to spend in their online store! Have a look at their website, it's an absolute treasure trove!

I decided to make some little notecards and a box for them, following instructions on the Scor-Pal website here. It was the lovely Jules who made a set in January who linked to the page.


The cards are tiny, just 8cm square. The sunflowers are a stamp by Great Impressions.

I had great fun making the paper that I used for my paper-piecing, using Distress Inks as shown by Tim Holtz here. He uses Perfect Pearls, but I sprayed with gold Glimmer Mist, and the sheen is lovely!




The box is made from a sheet of Bo Bunny double-sided card, and the ribbon is from stash. It took longer than I expected to cut out the fiddly flowers and leaves, but I'm really pleased with the result!!

I'm entering into the ABC Challenge which is 'N for Neutrals.'

Go across to Dream Valley and you'll see some fabulous inspiration, including jewellery and scrapbooking, from the talented DT. Then join in! You've got two weeks, so on your marks... get set... GO!!!

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x
