Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with string. These are a few of my favorite things.
Well, I've been singing it for about three days straight...so now it's your turn. Well your turn at least to play in Flourishes Pre-Release Challenge! This week we are to be inspired by the song "A Few of My Favorite Things", and I'll have it in full at the end of my post just to make sure you are singing when you leave!! Be inspired by the words and phrases in the song and link your creation to Flourishes blog post, and if you upload to Splitcoast, use the key word FLLCNOV. Next Friday at the release party, one lucky winner will win the entire release which starts on Wednesday!
For my take on the song, I always loved the line "Brown paper packages tied up with string", So I transferred that to Kraft paper. I mean that is the colour of the brown paper wrapping right? Oh, and "Bright copper kettles..." well, I had to use one of the Copper Mini Messages...the sentiment from Gerbera Daisies was made for it!! Then I went with a few of my own personal favorites! I love the Gerbera Daisies set, and I haven't dug it out now since it was released. I stamped it on Kraft in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured it with Copic markers. I was thrilled with the effect of the Copics on Kraft! Flourished Elements is such an elegant set, one that was screaming for ink too, so I pulled it into action for this challenge too. I just got the fabulous black and ivory gingham ribbon from Flourishes, so I knew it would be perfect. And how perfect is that 7 Gypsies designer paper with Kraft?
Stop by Flourishes' blog as there are some new goodies in store!! Think ribbons and pearls and the Copic II Collection. You're gonna love it!
The rest of the design team is set to inspire you with their take on the song, so enjoy a quick visit to their blogs to see some of their favorite things.
Oh yes, I promised the song in full. So for your singing pleasure...here it is!
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
