The fabulous @sazybsarah on Instagram (@sazyb123 on twitter) started up a swap on IG with the hashtag #prettyflowersallinarow to try and bring some floral loveliness to instagram when the weather was anything but lovely.
I was paired with Christina @applecrispcraft who states on IG that she is a ‘lover and maker of all things fabric’. This proved to be a bit of a challenge as we were tasked with providing our swap partners with a craft other than the one our partner does. As sewing is my standard trade, I ventured back to papercrafting as my main craft.
These cards were decoupaged using Anna Griffin papers and definitely fulfilled the floral brief.
I had to use some fabric though so I included a handmade Cath Kidston fabric mirror and a patchwork lavender sachet.
My bought gifts were a couple of fat quarters picked up from my local habby and a vintage embroidered brooch from my local dress agency and vintage treasures shop.
And this is what I got in return! Look at the beautiful wrapping paper.
The gifts inside are gorgeous.
A fabulous handmade cushion embellished with buttons and ribbon, some Cath Kidston soaps, a pretty floral tin with flower buttons inside, a floral mug and some cottage garden seeds to plant. Such a thoughtful gift.
Apple Crisp Craft sells lovely fabric goodies on Etsy. Go and have a look.
