Love to Read

I have seen lots of slimline cards on blogs recently, I also watched a video by Alicia from Paper Craft Secrets so I thought I would have a go at creating one - I used my Mintay Day by Day collection.


There are always two sheets of toppers in Mintay collections, on the reverse there are lots of different frames, I cut out one of the frames and fussy cut the book image from the topper sheet.  The flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers and the sentiment comes from the cardboard sticker sheet that is available separately, I layered everything up with foam pads to add a little dimension.


Thank you for popping in today - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Fantastic card! It's always a delight to see the many different ways that fellow paper crafters can work their creative magic with slimline designs.
