I set this weeks Artful Times topic of 'Ribbon & Lace'. I used various different pieces of fabric, lace, hessian and a skeleton leaf to surround the main image. I added fabric flowers and a silk rod tied with ribbon to the lace on the left hand side. I coloured a piece of plain white twill with spiced marmalade and mustard seed distress stains. I then stamped the word 'cherish'. I found a delicate gold coloured butterfly in my stash which I think Sarah sent to me in an envelope swap which just fitted perfectly. It measures approx 9" x 6".
Please feel free to join in with this weeks challenge and pop over and see what Neet and Von have made. Leave us a comment, we love to hear from you.

Sam this is gorgeous!! I have been stuck ideas wise this week but off now to root around to see what I can find for this challenge.
ooh that's lovely Sam. I wish I'd had time this week.
Fabulous - love the textures and colours
I also love the new look of your blog!
Absolutely love what you have made Sam, I did wonder what the gold roll was down the side when I saw it before and now I know - what an inspired thought.
Love all the elements you have used they all draw in to the photo really well.
Hugs, Neet xx
