Hooray, it's the weekend and I'm in the mood to start making an impact on my christmas cards this year. I've decided I'm bulk making one design like I did last year...it's much easier and definitely less stressful.
I'm sharing a baby shower card with you today that one of my work colleagues asked me to make. I normally go for pastels/ginghams/spots but thought I'd try a bolder design. For once I'm quite pleased with the outcome and that doesn;t happen very often...I normally hate my cards lol!
I'm entering my card into the following challenge

I think we are always our biggest critics and often feel the same about my cards. The ones i dislike the most are often others favourites. I love this card and agree the colours are perfect. Hugs, Amanda x

This is so delightful. Love the pretty papers, the gorgeous image and the way you've personalised it.
ReplyDeleteLove this card size/style too.
I've been looking for some of these and then realised that you have to make them yourself. Would you share with me what size you make yours?
