hello

hello all, I am playing along with a couple of fun challenges...I adore the texture of the pillows and colors from the challenge inspiration photo. I have used the concord and 9th floral and flutter die, this is such a fun die to use. The scripty hello die is from lawn fawn. Silver wendy vecchi embossing paste with the tim holtz burlap stencil for the background texture.  I always enjoy adding texture...fun!
