Hmmm... not sure

I received my Mosh-Posh kit in mail yesterday and was quite hesitant after opening it. It features new name on the block Lily Bee and their 3 Little Birds papers. Which are kinda cute, but I wasn't so sure if it was entirely my thing.

As usual in those cases I set more appealing papers aside and decided to try out the awkward ones right away.

One thing I really liked about that line is that they feature a sheet of die-cut 6'' mats. I decided to use one of those (pale blue circle) and pretty much built the card around it.

I chose a cutesy image from one of my fave stamp companies, Bildmalarna. I think they are fairly new but oh so cute and a joy to colour in. Used my new Whispers brush markers for colouring, result isn't too bad at all.

Then I dug out a recipe from this weeks Daring Cardmakers challenge and stuck to it. Love recipes, they give me good limitations and therefore reduce my time rooting around in stash looking for something I fancy.

The recipe was:
3 different papers
At least one piece of chipboard
At least 1 button
At least 1 piece of ribbon
optional: 1 extra item/element of your choice

I am still not sure if like Lily Bee papers but can certainly work with them.


Materials used:
Cardstock: Core'dinations pre-distressed vintage card.
Papers: Lily Bee 3 Little Birds
Colouring mediums: Whispers markers, metallic rubons, Pebeo Touch 3D paint, Ranger crackle paint, Memento Tuxedo Black & Rich Cocoa ink pad.
Main Image; Bildmalarna, sentiment - not sure, I think it's Technique Tuesday.
Button - American Crafts.
Flowers, chipboard vine, pins & twine all from my stash.

Thanks for looking!
