A bespoke Anniversary card by Katie Elliott Designs

The beautiful words on this card were chosen by a very romantic husband :) We used little paper cut butterflies with tiny crystals and paper cut roses to make it extra special.

Some beautiful embroidery

There are some brilliant embroidery techniques on these floral letters...

Macaroons!

I ate quite a few macaroons while I was away in France! There were shops with Macaroons of all different pastel colours and tasty flavours. This pretty shop window caught my eye...

...And the beautiful packaging

A pop of Neon lovliness!

I thought I would share some inspirational finds from my holiday in the South of France, I came across some great window displays and little treasures. There was even a little flea market by the beach! It really was the best of both worlds, inspiration for design and sun sea and sand :)

I LOVE this vintage stitched birdie cameo with a twist! The neon colours really bring it to life and give it an edge.

I spotted some BEAUTIFUL window displays wandering around the streets. I really like the mix of bright coloured polka dots stripes and vintage patterns.

I came across a shop with some cool jewellery!

These bright Circle shapes would make a great surface pattern idea!
