Hope you're all ok and full of the joys of late summer? It's a scorcher here at the moment.
Today's card is made using an image and paper from Crafters Companions Humphrey's Corner CD. I like these because the colours are so soft and gentle and pretty.
Once the base was made, the card is very simple as it's just basic matting and layering (colour picked from the image for a perfect match), a bit of guillotine work and rounding the corners. The sentiment was printed onto a piece of the backing paper in my MCS software.
I just finished it off with a couple of Doo Hickey dragonflies cut out of pale pink glitter card. With a card like this you really don't need to go OTT on the embellies, though you obviously can if you want!
I've entered this card into the following challenges:
http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ where the theme is "Allsorts."
http://cutiepiechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ where the theme is "No Flowers."
Take care everyone.
Happy crafting!
