Hi there! I hope you are all having a fun weekend, perhaps your busy shopping or baking or papercrafting? Whatever you are doing hope you are having a lot of fun! Thanks to all who played along with last week's challenge, ALL were such beautiful projects :)
Let's get to the randomly selected participant for the CR84FN8 challenge:
Suzanne, I would be honored if you would join along as my Guest for the CR84FN8 Challenge :)
Next, I would like to introduce you to this week's Guest Designer:
Anabelle's inspirational artwork can be found at Bits and Pieces...
Anabelle made this gorgeous holiday card featuring a pretty wreath with sparkly berries:
Close up, you can see all the shimmery goodness on the sweet flower and berries:
Thank you so much Anabelle for joining me with this week's challenge :) I hope you all visit Anabelle's site Bits and Pieces... for complete details and to share some love :)
Here's my interpretation of this week's colors:
For the focal point, I made a flower embellishment using a combination of die cuts from S4-249 Big Scalloped Circles LG and S4-250 Big Scalloped Circles SM. After making the flower, I fastened it to the label that was stamped with an image from Very Vintage Labels No. 1 then cut/embossed using a S4-161 Labels One die template.
Up close, you can see the embossed detail of the Musical Backgrounds.
Thank you for looking :) I hope you feel inspired to play along!
Now for the CR84FN Challenge details:
