Dragonflies Challenge Time - An Unusual Fold.

Here we go again over at Crafting with Dragonflies

Our latest challenge for you is to

CREATE A CARD WITH AN UNUSUAL FOLD.

Now isn't that a great idea - get away from our every day type card 

and challenge ourselves to do something a little different.

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are

with 4 digi's of the Winner's Choice 

and

Di's Digi Designs
with a $10 gift voucher

Again the Design Team were supplied with images for this challenge from Delicious Doodles and being a Scot there is nothing I like better than what everyone (including myself) calls a weed. 

They are but I still love THISTLES and it is called St Andrew's Day Thistle.

The card I made is not a hard one but is one I like and looks stylish.

Here is the link that I found as inspiration

Inspired by Stamping WHW #018 - creating frames

On my last post I showed you a card I made for 

the Inspired by Stamping Ribbon Challenge. 

I am so happy that my name was picked out as the WINNER. 

I can now choose 2 packs of crochet trim and there is 

some beautiful ones there for me to choose. Whoo Hoo

Their new challenge is to create a card using a frame. 

Below you can click on the link to see how Joanne showed us how with her Tutorial.

How often do we use our dies but don't think of using 

2 together to create a lovely frame. 

That got me interested so I got to playing with 

some new Spellbinder dies to do just that.

This is what I came up with.

I used the following products for my card

Basic white card stock

DP - Old World Mat Stack

Spellbinders Opulent Ovals

Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs

Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder

Distress Ink - Iced Spruce

GinaK stamp - Assorted Greetings

MS Punches - Hydrangea and Leaves

Fancy That Leafy Swirl

Flower - CR1204 by Marianne Designs

Kaisercraft Pearls

Liquid Pearls 

I really enjoyed making this card for the challenge and hoping next time 

I will have some lovely IBS stamps on my next project for you to drool over.

Till then

 HAPPY CRAFTING

and thanks for stopping by.
