Day 8 - I have used the first of a packet of butterflies from…. oh… I’ve thrown the packet away!  I think they are from Papermania!
Stick-on lace trim this time rather than the real thing.  I thought I’d show a nice blue-green card today.

Day 7 - A piece of “script” style background paper has been wrapped around the card front and onto the inside cover.  It was then layered with a piece of contrasting (darker) paper which I pinched with the Martha Stewart border punch.   Bit of lace and a flower, which, I have to admit to squashing [...]

Day 6 and a bit of colour blocking with scraps!  I cut them to fit the card front with a border, matted the picture onto a piece of silver card, adhering with 3D pads and added a bit of lace (before sticking the mounted picture to the card base btw!).

Day 4 - Same Vintage Photo used as on yesterday’s card… but with a slightly different treatment.
The graphic is matted on silver card (although I notice that it mostly comes up as a dark mat on most, if not all the photos! tut!), but the background is just one piece of paper this time (yesterday [...]

These sorts of papers do a lot of the [...]

Ok, day 2 and my second card.  This is also sporting the latest in Martha Stewart Punches.  It is a special one as it is a “belly band” (as they call it) punch rather than a border punch.  Not particularly easy to see on this card, but it will appear again on another card in [...]

So I [...]

Another  “vintagey” (is that a word?) card with a tea theme provided by the teapot and teacup and saucer stamps from the Basic Grey Nook & Pantry Collection.
I actually made it as a mother’s day card… my mum likes the pinks and greens together.

Ironically the lace (which is wrapped all the way round the front cover) [...]
