Cuttlebug Be Inspired #14


And for my second challenge today (and there's no way I'm going to keep this up!) I've entered the Cuttlebug Be Inspired challenge to make a card with your favourite folder.

Well my favourite, for today at least, is Texture and this is what I did with it.

The base is a pale green DL card and at the top I added some K & Co paper which I thought was ideal as the pattern is very similar to the Texture one and I liked the colours. I ran a piece of pink card through the Cuttlebug  and highlighted the embossing in Adirondack 'Lettuce'. Over the join I used a piece of 'Chatterbox' ribbon and finished the card off with embellishments from 'Laura Ashley'.

I think that's certainly enough challenges for today but who knows what tomorrow will bring?

    Hi Ali - I love the combination of pink and adirondak lettuce ink - must remember that one. Great card - wow you are really doing well entering all these challenges. Better than me - daft as a brush I've just a card on my blog supposed to be for two challenges - both of which ended yesterday. It must be my age!!!
