Brown and cornflower blue

This is for the sketch for Paper Pretties Wednesday 170:

It's also for Inky impressions colour challenge 23: brown and cornflower blue, and for Crafts4eternity R36 colour recipe: brown and blue, where this inspiration picture is given:



Papers are from the V & A linen paper pack, the large bloom has been in my stash for a long time (used to use these quite a lot, but they seem to have gone out of fashion), the crocheted flower is held in the middle by a brad. The scalloped strip is a velvet paper topped with some birthday ribbon from Hobbycraft (the white background of this is a lot whiter irl).

This is also for:

Craft your passion 75: use the F word - flowers
Ladybug 37: flowers
Top tip Tuesday 51: birthday time
Southern girls: lots of layers or a birthday theme (there's both)
Party time Tuesday 33: ribbon trim and fibers oh my!
