A simple idea...

Don’t you hate it when you see a really fabulous idea which completely blows you away... then you try it yourself and it looks like... well, it looks like this.

There’s a fabulous cardmaker out there in Blogland called Kristina Werner and every time she touches cardstock it turns to gold. So I had a go at making a card inspired by one of her designs, with very disappointing results.

But it uses retiring (and reduced!) Designer Series Paper so it’s now or never for the blog and here it is. It’s a very simple idea - but not stunning.

Anyway, moving on... it's my Moving Cards workshop tonight - if you've booked into this, see you later!

Cardstock: More Mustard
Paper: Haiku
Accessories: Die Cut Blooms, Earth Elements and naturals buttons, 5/8” Grosgrain Ribbon – Old Olive
