I am thrilled to have been invited to join the Colour Team for the month of January - the perfect crafty start to 2017! Thank you team x
Mary's colours today are
Dapper Denim
Melon Mambo
Pear Pizzazz
With no Dapper Denim I used an unknown distressed paper for the background. I made a frame and distressed the outer edge with the TM distress tool. I stamped and punched the flowers, dotted the centres with a marker, gently sponged the ivy with Pear Pizzazz ink and put together with wet glue and foam pads. I gently distressed the edges of the sentiment and finished off with a stamped envelope.

Great distressing, Sandie....Love the way you created your framing with the dotted dp showing through! Beautifully sponged (I'm sure that wasn't easy to do) cascading ivy for your pretty flowers!
