One Layer Weds

Hello again...this is my second post for today as I want to share a card with you for OLW 44 on this blog here .


This is my first go at this challenge but I have been following the weekly challenges for a while . This week we have to take inspiration from a range of images on a Pinterest board, this style of inspiration is new to me so I decided to jump in and I chose this picture which led me to this card.
Probably quite a simple one to start with but the colours and shapes just jumped out at me and this is the idea that popped into my head.
I also liked this picture which led me, again simply, to this card


 For this I had to cut my own stencil and ink through it to create the bunting flags and then added pattern on top through the same stencil . I decided to stitch between the flags (not sure if this is aloud) but I'm still not quite happy with it....thought I'd share it anyhow, you have to show your mistakes as well as your triumphs eh ?
Thanks for looking x

    I think you did a great job on both of these, Jenny! I like your stitching with the pennants! I think it is allowed and adds a lot of interest!

    Great to see you playing along at OLW. I love both of your cards. I looked at the same picture you used for your first one and tried several layouts on kraft, but I wasn't happy with them. Yours turned out great! Your banner is wonderful. Well worth the effort it must have taken.

    I can't think why you're not happy with the bunting card I thought it was off-cut pieces of ribbon until I read through the details, its beautiful.
