Papercraft Star # 151

Hi there!
I'm feeling much brighter today ... The sun is shining and I'm in a positive mood 
Maybe it's this weeks' inspiration photo for the Papercraft Star challenge that brightens me


Just look at those delicious colours ... now if that doesn't say 'summer' I don't know what does
Of course you could go with the theme rather than the colours ... it's all up to you ...
This is my interpretation


I made this for my neighbour who celebrated her birthday last week
After Anitra's tutorial Here ... I just had to try one of those pretty ric rac flowers ...


I think I'm going to need some practice ... whilst my hands are small my fingers are not delicate and I struggled a little Lol!


I printed one of the Ombre digital papers from Pink Petticoat straight onto my cardstock to start ... the papers are all MME and the pink dot corner piece is a transparency ... 

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week ... please come and join us at Papercraft Star and if you need more inspiration ... just hop over to the blog to check out the rest of the cards from our designers ...

Thanks so much for visiting me today ... 

Till soon

Lovely card with a great summery feel Ros! If only the sun would come out, you wouldn´t believe what warm clothes I´m wearing today, lol! What makes me warm inside though is to look at your pretty creation here, so thank you for that! Hugs, Ira x
