Site Blurb - "Celebrate Spring with this delicately pretty kit, comprising:
- 10 patterned and textured papers in pinks, green and vanilla
- 2 long, thin knotted and buttoned down silk ribbon
- 1 short length of frayed silk ribbon
- 4 vintage photo corners
- 1 glass button
- 1 embellished torn paper heart
- 2 postage stamps
- 4 circular tags hanging from silk ribbon (2 plain and 2 ready to use with phrases)
- a floral alpha and numeral set"
Papers - This is when I regret putting the cost per item in this posting. It makes the kit look expensive for what you get, but it most definitely is not. The vanilla paper with the pink flowers in particular is beautiful enough to hold a LO on its own. The other papers are understated and the blending and choice of patterns on each of them is gorgeous.
Elements - Argh! How to be complementary without being gushing? Here goes. As with the papers, the elements are spartan in their simplicity yet beautiful in their design. Every single piece would grace a LO, and it would be hard not to pile them all on as I wouldn't want to leave any off. The ribbons look as if they have just been unravelled from the bottom of Grandmother's sewing box, and the little china/glass button is very sweet.
Bad points, bad points, let's see. I'd like more papers, oh and the colours aren't suitable for a boy layout. Hah! Do you hear me scraping the bottom of the barrel here looking for criticisms?
One Sentence A graceful kit with beautiful papers and elements.
