Cards Galore Challenge "Vintage - Ribbons, Lace & Buttons"

Hi everyone


After a FANTASTIC weekend, we went to Dublin to see River Dance, while hubby's sister minded my babies, I'm back with a new post..

With all renewed energy, I'm happy to let you all know that the new challenge has gone LIVE over on

The theme for this month is one of my favorite,
"Vintage - Ribbons, Lace & Buttons"

And while your at it, why not join our facebook group, also called Cards Galore..
We are a fun and friendly craft group, and all crafts are welcome.

Our sponcer is non other then my other DT

Here is my DT card for this months challenge:


For this card I used a free paperpack from a magazine, White card stock, Marrianne corner die, Spelbinder oval die, distress ink, gems, prima flowers, leaf punch and mini tags.

I decided not to colour the image, I just added the distress ink around the edges.
This was done by printing my image, then lay your oval spellbinder die over and cut as normal. Then withput taking the oval out of the die, add the distress ink. By doing this, you will get that white edge around your image.

I hope you all like my wee card. 
THANK YOU for stopping by and for any comments left behind..
Big hugs, Marleen xxx
