This week's One Layer Challenge, hosted by Ardyth, is SPICE GIRLS:
Make a feminine card inspired by a spice, condiment or flavouring!
Hmm. Ardyth did a brilliant salt & pepper card. Obvious other choices are spice colours, but I kept being drawn to star anise, and I was going to do a spiky flower that most represented star anise as we see it in its dried form. Then I googled the star anise flower, and it's a gorgeous rich pinky red, with some yellow in the centre. So that's what we have.
I've used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch:
And at Less is More, it's Happy Birthday to Jen!
Flowers from Paper Smooches, sentiment from Hero Arts.
My dad is improving slightly and responding to treatment. I'm playing out tonight - a treasure hunt walk around our village. I'll let you know if I find any!
A pretty CAS card. A very inspired choice for the Spice Girls challenge. I drew a total blank.
ReplyDeleteLovely rich spicy colours and a very creative take on the challenge! Thanks for playing along, Shirley!
ReplyDeleteLove our card - i was thinking star anise too - funny - but I won't be able to participate - going on vacation :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Loving the richness of the flower colour and this makes my CAS heart sing! Hugs Bev x

This is the spitting image of the sketch and a brilliant spice for the OLW! You rock, Shirley!
ReplyDeleteI've caught up on your posts (been crazy busy) and enjoyed every last one except the part about your Dad being really ill. I'm so sorry. I do hope he continues to improve.
