Hello and welcome to something that's not a DT post for a change.
Yes, I managed my 'me' time crafting and got carried away until the early hours, but what a dilemma I had!
A couple of weeks ago I was very lucky and won the 1st Challenge over at Alicraft Blog and such a fabulous prize - 2 different size- yes 2, Graphic45 Secret Garden paper pads! These papers are so beautiful, hence the decisions - what side of the paper do I use. Eventually I chose...
I used the 12" x!2 pad, cut my image with Deckle edge scissors, distessed my edges with Iced Spruce and Antique Linen, well I couldn't not have inky somewhere! Tim Holtz Doily and Tattered florals dies, and bits from my stash. Those of you who are regular readers know that almost everything I do involves stamping, but these were such a pleasure to use...the next one will be soon!
I am entering this at:
Crafts Too Challenge You - Choose a Decade or Era + Layers - 5 layers inc. gauze - Victorian era)
Oldie but a Goodie - In the Garden (my pearls, flower die and gauze are old items)
The Hobby House - Vintage
Hope you all have a great weekend whatever you're doing.

A beautiful card that can be used for so many occasions! I can understand your dilemma about what side of the papers to use and I think you made a great decision.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card and love your beautiful rosé that you have matched perfectly. I have decikle edged scissors but never think to use them. Must get them out. If they are on my desk in sight I might just remember to have a play . Hugs mrs a.
ReplyDeleteLucky you Avril,love G 45 papers and you have made such a beautiful card with them, lovely flowers
ReplyDeleteJust had a quick peek to see what I have missed and saw all these beautiful cards and like the others never think of using my deckle scissors- so thanks for the tip! x

Avril, this is a beautiful card and those papers are gorgeous! Some double sided paper makes it easier to decide which side to use, but G-45 are almost always equally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING card Avril!!!! I adore Graphic 45 papers but have resisted buying because I know I'll end up not being able to bring myself to cut them!!

Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love it Avril, but what a hard decision it must have been to choose. I hate it when both sides are as gorgeous as each other.
ReplyDeleteHuge Hugs Mau xx
What a dilemma to have. So pleased for your win Avril. Hugs, Jenny x
