Can I hear some of  you thinking?

 "HOW do we create with  'borrowed' from the saying??"
Weeeell, our very clever talented dt have
come up with ideas to help you.

Borrowed the idea from old fashioned 'paper dolls'





 Borrowed blue paint





Borrowed red coral from a friend




Borrowed  Anna Dabrowska technique from her workshop




Borrowed the box from her Mum




used words....check her blog for more detail!




Borrowed her mum's button box  (for the buttons)





Borrowed the fresh hydrangeas to dry




Borrowed ink and the butterfly punch from her sister
