He got back from his holibobs last week and as I was still off, I popped upstairs and cooked brunch for us both.
To cut a long story short he had been on a trip to Maine and was writing out Thank You cards. I was sad because I really felt that the cards should have reflected the colours and the mood of where he had been.
So I used all of this as an excuse to purchase the new Beach Huts papers and Beach Cottage set by Pink Petticoat :) and make cards for Dr Kevin.
I decided I needed to focus whilst making these cards and whilst rummaging through Pinterest for inspiration, I spotted this Purr Tones palette on my colour board.
My main photo today is of one of the cards for Dr Kevin.
I struggled a bit when making these, as I felt that I needed an embellishment, but couldn't decide what it should be.
Fortunately my desk isn't as tidy as it should be, so I saw the die-cut bicycles cue a lightbulb moment.
The bicycles were already stamped and they fit my colour scheme perfectly. I added blue pearls to the wheels for a bit of stand-out.
Here is a close-up, as the Beach Hut paper is quite subtle.
