I have been very lucky that my mum is able to veiw and comment on my blog. Its just another way to keep in touch with family and for her to see what I get up to at home. I had taken this photo when we were visiting her earlier this year. We had gone up to Omarama for a fantastic lunch. I had a few ideas of things I had wanted to "do" to the layout and stitching the title was one of them.
MumI wanted to go for muted greys and blues for the main colours with a splash of red as accents. I sanded the background papers ( loving the look on the 12 x 12 paper) and inked the edge of the spotty paper with red to add more dimension.

A close up of the paisley element and the handmade flowers. I have also used Kaisercraft pearls as wee accents around the page.
Another paisley element and a flower. The spotty paper was distressed by sanding and scrunching up.
