Welcome
Today I’m back with the first September Challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday –Marsha’s Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge. Please join us!
My card today uses copic coloured and fussy cut flowers from Altnew’s – Beautiful Day set.
The background heart was die cut using Docrats Xcut Nesting Dies, which was then run through Spellbinders Celebrations – Fabric Weave EF and swiped with Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink pad.
The sentiment is a die from Winnie & Walter – The Big, The Bold and Friends Cutaways.
I was happy with the way it turned out.
Thanks so much for stopping by and please head over to our blog to check out the inspiration offered by the rest of the Design Team.
Happy creating
Cheers
Helen
