Spool Posy by Sue Smith
The Play Date Cafe Challenge 81 found it's inspiration in the colours found on the wallpaper shown below.
I really loved the colours found in the wallpaper and the floral imagery. At first, I was tempted to try and do some stitching, but in the end the wooden spool sitting on my desk caught my eye and I thought I'd spruce it up with a little posy. I thought this little spool posy could make a great gift topper!
I've used some Hero Arts flower stamps, along with some paper flowers, florist wire and silk ribbon. The spool was coated in Distress Stain (Weathered Wood) and I then wrapped some TH tissue tape around the spool and topped it off with silver glitter.
