Do you use flowers in your scrapbooking? I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with them - I love them and see other people's layouts using them, but find it really difficult to make them look good on my own, so I thought I might struggle with this week's challenge on Shimelle's blog, which was to use floral motifs, although I was slightly reassured as one of her examples just has a couple of small flowers.
Having slept on it, I had an idea in my head - I had some photos printed from a wine tasting evening at a local Asian restaurant and was pretty sure that I had the remnants of an old Basic Grey kit which would go with them, so I had a rummage... I eventually came up with a few scraps of the Basic Grey, Konnichiwa collection - I'm not completely convinced this is the collection I had in mind, but the bits I had left really complemented the photos - and the largest scrap of paper I had was a lovely small floral - ideal for the challenge!
The large fabric flowers, felt floral strip, and letter and embellishment stickers are also from the same collection. The background is a cut file I designed myself - it was my first attempt at creating something like this, and there are definitely lessons to be learned!
