C.R.A.F.T Challenge 22

This week the theme at C.R.A.F.T challenge is anniversary, and for my DT card I have used The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady CD from Joanna Sheen. For the card base I used plain cream card, inked round the edges with robin's egg blue ink. I printed the backing paper on ice diamond lustre paper, although this hasn't shown up on the photo. The sentiment I printed off the computer, the flowers I embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and inked round the edges.




This week our sponsor is Craft Obsessions who are offering 6 Promarkers of your choice as this week's prize.

I embossed the flower and the card behind the mouse with the cuttlebug daisy folder. The leaves are Quickcutz die cuts coloured with twinkling H2os. The mouse I coloured with pencils.
