Lillybet's Papers

Hello crafty friends. How did it get to be Sunday already?? Lovely colour palette we are using this week, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Vanilla and Mossy Meadow with copper. I am not very focused on Christmas, so used the Hot air balloons for a change this week, and I CASE'd the little square card at the top of the inspo image.

I did watercolour the background as the starry copper DSP sky was a bit dark, and the little copper star embellishments are so cool for adding some bling without being too much. Next this week is Bec . She loves a bit of sparkle so I wonder what gorgeousness she will have created with the copper touches. Send us a photo of your creations using these wonderful colours. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" ...
