Hopespun

Hi everyone,

I told you I had some exciting news, and here it is. Midweek Magnolias were hunting for a guest DT, which of course I was interested in, well Anne e-mailed me and asked me if instead of a GDT spot did I want a permanent spot, and of course the answer had to be yes!! So I am now the newest member of the Midweek Magnolia's DT, yay!!!

Challenges are called challenges for a reason, and well the theme this week is 'Homespun', and I didn't have the foggiest, so with a little help from my teamies I interpreted it as 'Country Cottage Chic', so flowers, distressing and natural fibre seemed the way to go.

Here's my interpretation of the theme. I've coloured Tilda in with distress inks and used paper from Magnolia and K&Co. I've used a distress tool to distress the edges of the DP and I've distressed the other edges with Walnut Stain and gold pen.

I've stitched the edges using that gorgeous top stitch thread from the Ribbon Girl, the twine is also from there. It's just hit me, I've made a card with no lace OR ribbon, and I'm not sure how, lol!!! I've used the colours in the paper to match my flowers too, which are from Wild Orchid Craft, and I was able to use quite a few colours.

The fence die is from Magnolia.

Pop over and join us for this weeks challenge, where there is a mystery prize from Magnolia Sweden for the winner.

Hugs,
