Cut it Out

Good Afternoon, I hope your weekend has started well. The weather is clear and bright here with a bit of a breeze so I've managed to hang some washing out. We've got the painters in so I've managed to sneak off to the craft room to do a card for Less is More. The Lady Divas are looking for apertures this week - not something I do very often but here is my offering.


I picked the pink card out of the bit box but it looks a bit insipid in the photo and my photo isn't too straight - but we do have an aperture! I've used a square nestie for the aperture, all other dies are from Marianne Designs. Card is finished with a sentiment stamped onto the pink aperture waste and heat embossed with white detail EP, brad and white gem.

Challenges entered:
Less is More - cut it out
Totally Papercrafts - make own flowers
Tuesday Throwdown - neutral colours
Charisma Cardz - clean and simple
One Stop Craft - Under the Weather
