Cupcake Craft Challenge # 149...Single Layer Card


Good morning everyone...I hope you all had a wonderful weekend...the weather was fab for the school feté and can you believe Sophie won a Pandora necklace in the raffle! How lucky is she...bet she won't let me borrow it lol! I still haven't managed to shift my chest infection...I'm back on steroids for another 2 weeks and I've also got to take a tablet to reduce the inflammation in my lungs...I'm getting fed up with it all now as it's been nearly 4 weeks! Fingers crossed it clears soon!

Well today's challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenges has caused a bit of a stir with the Cupcakes...our lovely Rachel chose the theme of a SINGLE LAYER CARD...I'm surprised you didn't hear me screaming with frustration however I think I got there in the end! I did really struggle with this challenge and this definitely wasn't the only version of a single layer card I tried and failed at making lol! Well done though Rachel for making this a proper challenge and the chance to try something that is completely out of my comfort zone!

The Cupcakes have done a much better job than me and you can find all their inspirational makes over on the Cupcake challenge blog!
