#prettyflowersallinarow Swap

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.
