Playtime

That month soon flew past, this is my second post as a Design Team member for the  Forever Friends Monthly Challenge - this month the theme is Birthdays so I have taken the opportunity to make another child's card for my Craft Fair later this month.


I have used a decoupage image and papers from the Forever Friends New Arrival collection - the decoupage comes on one huge sheet and you have to cut it out yourself, as anyone who knows me will be aware - I just love cutting out decoupage.  The embossed panel has been inked with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card using the same papers as the front:


Card Recipe:

Image and Papers:  Docrafts - Forever Friends New Arrival collection
Card Stock:  Crafter's Companion - Core'dinations
Tools:  Spellbinders - Tag and Scalloped Oval (inside card),
EK Success - Postage Stamp border punch.
Cuttlebug - Typeset embossing folder
Embellishments:  ribbon from stash
Sentiment:  Wild Rose Studio

We have two fab sponsors this month, the sponsor for the randomly picked winner is::


and The Forever Friends Favourite is sponsored by:


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