Kristina Werner took me by surprise by posting a colour challenge yesterday afternoon - I didn't think we'd have another one till Friday at the earliest! But I no complain 
. One look at the inspiration photo and all I could think of was Paisley... by dinner time my desk was covered in all these bits of stamped Paisley and I had a million ideas going through my head. I eventually settled on this one, though I may get time to work on one of my other ideas... we'll see! If you go to the website where the bedding came from you'll see there is a video you can watch. It was from that, and the mention of the French, that I also decided I had to use Carte Postale some way. I decided to base my design on the quilt cover and had planned on stamping a Wasabi sentiment in the bottom right corner, but decided I like it better with no words at all.All supplies by Stampin' Up!
Cardstock: River Rock, Whisper White
Stamp Sets: Paisley, Carte Postale
Inks: Purely Pomegranate, River Rock
Accesories: Pretties Kit, Regal Rose marker, blender pen and Purely Pomegranate reinker, Ice Circle Rhinestone Brads, Wild Wasabi Double-stitched ribbon.
