Weekend Workout 7 - 1234

Hi Lynne here with my challenge for a weekend workout.

I've chosen a 1, 2, 3, 4 challenge.

You need to use

1 Ribbon

2 Buttons~~

3 Flowers~~

4 Patterned papers

I really like seeing several patterned papers on a layout but find it hard to do myself, so that's why I came up with this challenge.~

 
and here's a close up of the flowers

 

The photos were taken on the Isle of Man last year, when I went over for the TT.

I do hope you'll join in with me, it would be lovely to see how you interpret the challenge.

Have a fun weekend.

For this challenge I decided to use fabric. I sewed four different fabrics onto a calico background.

For the flowers I have been experimenting with printing on fabric, so I scanned some flower stamps from my old stamp collection and printed them out.

I added some lace, stitched on my buttons and added a few cross stitches. I think I am going to use this panel on a hand-made handbag.

Hello, Eleanor here with a layout based on Lynne's 1234 challenge. And yes, I'm STILL stuck on lyrics and song titles since Ali's challenge a few weeks ago.
I also followed a sketch by Maggie Holmes, thank you :)
So, I have one ribbon in amongst the 4 patterned paper strips, 2 buttons, and 3 flowers I cut from iron-on interfacing, folded in half and machine stitched across for clouds. The frame is acrylic gesso on chipboard.

The journalling reads:

"A simple matter of picking you up and lifting you over a fence to be re-united with your mum, but I couldn't resist holding you a little longer than necessary;

'HOLD ME CLOSE don't let me go, oh no.
I, yes I love you, and I think that you know, do you know?'

but now mum was getting anxious and so I had to relinquish you and set about finding the hole and mending the fence."

Hi Claireliz here with my take on Lynne's 1234 Challenge, I decided to make a card...

 

 now it looks like I've only used 3 patterned papers but...

 

There is a 4th patterned paper on the insde of the card that peeks out around the scalloped edge on the front of the card...
