Love

My Wild Orchid flowers finally arrived after two weeks of patiently waiting. They are a UK based business, so the wait wasn't bad and well worth it. Multimedia Tag in aquas. This was definitely fun to put together and I just love the blueish tones. Many relate pinks and reds to love however, the soft blues and multiple textures were screaming romance and love <3

Roses Pearls & Lace

A first attempt at Shabby Chic with roses, pearls, and lace which are lovely together. I really enjoyed making the roses and hand painting them. They were time consuming yet fairly easy to make. I love the shabby vintage style, it's so romantic and reminds me of Victorian dresses.

This is my version of Sketch Saturday # 354.
