For this fortnight, the Craft Barn's Quotes and Lyrics challenge prompts were Path and Horizon.
Unlike prompts from the 12th challenge, this time there were a gazillion quotes I could choose from. I chose the word path,
in the form of an Irish Blessing. The number 13 signifies the 13th challenge, which also marks the half way point for the year. As always, I started with a file folder cut in half. In this detail shot, you can see I've also added two birds and one flower, all from punches.
For the background, I started with a Viva paper towel (I believe they are called kitchen towels across the pond) that was part of a mop up from a previous challenge entry, where I used printer ink to dye fabric.
Last year, in a state of weakness (and a really good cents off coupon), I bought these Martha Stewart flowers, my other embellishments.I hope this has put you on a happy path, as I fulfill this latest Craft Barn entry. And even though I thought I was not going to make it, I actually got around to visit everyone who entered the 12th CB challenge. Unfortunately, I am, as I've stated in the past, unable to leave comments to those who are on Facebook, Flickr, and some G+ blogs because I'm not a member of those media sites.
I'll get in early this time! What a lovely colourful background and such pretty flowers! Fab quote too! xx
