Hi all, I'm still here!! Just trying to get back into my old routine as our schools are now back and so is nursery for Alex. Its amazing how 8 weeks holiday knocks you off balance and makes it difficult to get back into routines. I finally got round to making a card last night, which I made with the paper sundaes challenge in mind. Their challenge was to use at least 2 of the following toppings, Green, buttons, banners and/or twine. Well do I need any excuse to get out my banner die? No i think not lol!!
I used all the toppings as there is a tiny bit of green on the bunting and button.
The card looks very bright in the pics, its not so bright IRL, I find bright pinks very hard to photograph!
The card base started life as a square scalloped craftwork cards basic card. I knew I wanted to make this shape and have the bunting hanging across the top. So after much measuring, cutting, folding atc I managed to get it right and I, very happy they way it turned out. You can probably buy these card shapes somewhere but i like a challenge and anything that saves money is good in my book.
