Winter warm little notebook




At CCCB this week dear Ros asks us to use the colours
Red, Kraft and White.

Ah, but...

 Wen...

 Where is your red???



I mean RED red...

Okay, it is there
in a faded tone though.

I just got caught up in the creating process
and realized I was slightly drifting off...

Oops...

Hope that it will do...




The flower is handmade by me
after a fabulous tutorial I found by The White Bench
with far more gorgeous rosettes than mine!

The challenge at City Crafter

Christmas Colours

Make a card or project that include the colours
red, kraft and white
(it doesn't have to be Christmas related though).

FREEBIES


The image that I used for this project
of a vintage photo (cabinet card) that I altered in photoshop.

Right-click and open in new window to enlarge.




And also an uplifted black and white version.




The original cabinet card was a faded sepia.

You can find the original on my pinterest (see sidebar for P)
board of cabinet cards and vintage photos.

If you'd like to use one of the image cut-outs
then please hop over to my (long neglected, shame on me)
freebies blog AppleApricotsFreebies.

Well now, methinks this was it for today.
Wishing you a sweet week...

Toodles!

    Well Wendy that is such a beautifully dressed girl red with her white furs!
    It looks gorgeous placed on the front of that little book with its pretty white rose.
    I have to say that is my idea of "red" too. You did a great job digitally!
    Sending warm hugs

    Geweldig notebook met Mrs. Santa op de voorkant Wen! Gewoon zonde om erin te schrijven (of het moet dan wel écht schoonschrift zijn hè ;-) Mooi ook met die metaalsluiting erop! Liefs, Ira x
