Something completely different!!!

Ok, so today as promised I have my card that I made for Craig to share with you. Now before i get loads of comments - i know its girly for a guy!!! It looked fine untill i popped the pink bit on lol, oh well - its good for guys to get in touch with their feminine side once in a while right?


I made this card using a digital kit by the uber talented Zoe Pearn called So Sweet, all the papers and the alpha used to spell fiance came from the kit, I then hand cut a heart shape and printed the rest of the text on the pc and cut each letter out. Simples! I finised it off with a few roses, some pearls, a fibre strip and some lace which i rouched up to make it even frillier ( and girlier - oooops lol )

It was soo nice to make a card with no image for a change, I cant see myself doing it often but it def makes a nice change!!! Im really pleased with it - its a large card too - 8x8 - see totally outside my comfort zone!! I wanted it to be a special card though, being his first birthday as my fiance :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :

Bunny Zoe - Vintage ( i think the soft colours and lace look pretty vintage! )
One Stitch at a Time - Pack a Punch( i used my martha stewart scalloped punch on the floral strip
Digi Doodle - Flowers
Alphabet - P is for Punches

This really is a special card Zoe & I'm sure Craig loved it (though he would like anything you made him). You're right it is nice to make a card without an image something I haven't done for a while but must have a go at :) You can't beat Zoe Pearn for fabby papers either!
