Hello fellow bloglanders......... well, I hope you aren't having the terrible weather we are at the moment. Gales and torrential rain ........ can hardly believe it's May next week. Still, I suppose I don't have to tear myself away from the garden........... lol
This week's challenge over at
Less is More is a Sketch:
You may choose either of these
SKETCHES
For this card I went for a 4" square fancy edged white card blank. I have punched the centre using my Martha Stewart Punch around the Page Caning which I've just got and couldn't wait to use!!! I've placed a piece of cardstock behind and then stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up Always Elegant set using Shabby Shutters DI. Will try and come back later in the week with another card but we're just off to an art exhibition preview by my friend
Kaye Parmenter at East Lambrook Manor Gardens ..... methinks we will be a little soggy when we arrive!
Thanks for stopping by.

This card is ever so pretty. Love the punch you used, I have been debatin on whether to try one of these out or not, now I can see how they can make a 'simple' card look elegant...♥
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist this one after I saw it in Craft Stamper this month. Had to buy it from the States though as not available over here.
