Hello all, today I have a new card to show you that I have made for the Kraftyhands Challenge Blog April showers. You have to use something blue. I used their Vintage Treasure cd that I bought on Saturday this is my first card using this cd. I used a damask backing paper and stamped Vintage floret stamp to make my flowers then put the rest of the backing paper inside.I cut my flowers out with my tiny scissors. I then took two toppers and made them from png into jpegs and resized them. Layered them up on my back piece of card, added some of my flowers and pearls.  I then cut two white panels and used my new Lattice die. Cut and embossed them and decorated them with the rest of my flowers. Then I stuck one each end of my card back to make a gatefold card.

Thanks for calling by. Happy crafting Hugs x ChrisB

  1. Wow this is gorgeous Chris. I saw that die - or a similar one - at the NEC and couldn't see how you'd use it really - but now I see. Love the design and the pretty paper.
