Michelles sketch looks like this
So, since my card is a little small and my DP kind of busy I decided to have a little different look at the sketch and used only the "outside"/stripe of the circle. I also replaced one of the layers behind the image with a piece of acetate. So all layers are there just a little harder to spot them compared to if I had used papers instead. Have used raffia in a natural colour to fit in with all my green and brown colours.
Have done two types of square flowers, a little more "boyish" I hope. The small ones just a couple of squares glued together in different angles with a bling stone in the middle. The bigger ones are also made from squares that I have cut into the corners, and folded one piece into the middle from each flap. In the middle a tiny square and a button. At first I only wanted the big ones but they looked to bulk on the side of the image so they ended up like this instead. Inspiration came from my youngest kids kindergarten ward where they have a huge "wheel" like that. It's so much summer in that. Used to have those when I was a kid as well, and run around in my grannys garden with my brothers. Those where the days ha?
Papers are from MME, buttons and bling Papermania and it's coloured with the promarkers of corse.
So this is all from me for today. I wish you a wonderful evening and hope it's warmer where you are! Brrr, has anyone seen spring?
Hugs,
Marie
Ps: I think I enter this for the Lili of the Valley challenge as well. The theme there is Here comes summer. It's not typical summer colours but the boys having cookies out and drinking lemonade could really be my own two ones.
