Bronwyn's 60th Birthday Blog hop #6 inspired by a very Old distinktive dsigns project

 Bron's 60th Birthday Blog and INSTA Hop #6 - Tropical Holiday

The theme FOR #6 is "Tropical" to celebrate Bron's actual birthday. - She's enjoying the beautiful Tropical North Qld. Aren't the colours gorgeous in a tropical ocean - that's what I've used for this project. Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky.

I have decided to use the tropical colours, but wanted to replicate the very first project of Bronwyn's that I fell in love with. It's from Just Add Ink Challenge #4 - one from the archives, since now they are up to #616!!!

I have always been attracted to a grid layout and I still find lots of visual interest in this project, so I have recreated snippets of it for my shadowbox frame. Pocket Silhouettes was one of my first Stampin' Up! purchases and I still have it and love it, but I used current stamps for this project - Framed Occasions, and Ranunculus Romance.  I also used  bits and pieces from my stash including shimmer embossing paste, Brads, Buttons, Rhinestones, Dies and a miniature crochet doily (much like Bronwyn's) that an old friend made me years ago. Of course it had to include a butterfly, since many of Bronwyn's projects have butterflies in them

I left the glass out to take the photos but this frame will sit easily on a shelf / table.

Wishing many happy returns to Bronwyn for her big birthday. 

I am very grateful for all the inspiration and encouragement she has given so freely over the years. I really hope the tropical holiday has lived up to her dreams. 

May your weekend have a holiday vibe too.

Next on the blog is Vicki

"don't just post online,

cheers, Liz
