I have another card to share today using the recently launched Pollyanna Pickering Sketch Book Chapter VIII - Journey to the Southern Hemisphere Paper Collection and CD ROM. You can find several more cards made using this collection HERE.

I have used the Black Leopard collection again today.  I used the card project sheet, these are perfect for beginner crafters, you can just print one sheet and follow the sketch to create a card.  I added some additional card stock layers and used one of the backing papers to create an additional base layer.

I also added a different sentiment, I cut it into a flag shape and created some card candi.
