Colour Create Pastel Challenge

It's Colour Create time!  This week our challenge is to use your choice of pastel colours with an optional spring or Easter theme.  And our challenge this week is sponsored by our very own Di.  Thanks Di!  You can head over to Colour Create for the details.

For this challenge, I made a paper flower bouquet for a friend who recently had twin boys:

I had so much fun making this bouquet!  I used pastel blue and yellow and some khaki for the flowers.  I added a button to each flower and also to the decorative circles on the pail.


As a final detail, I added some tiny little butterflies randomly. 


The other design team members have made some absolutely gorgeous creations.  Please head over to all of their blogs to check them out.

Thanks so much for Looking!

What an utterly gorgeous bouquet Deanne. Who wouldn't be pleased to receive this; it's fantastic.
You must have the patience of a saint making all those flowers.
Love the stitching and button detail on the container too. You clever lady!
