City Crafter 348

Hello and good morning lovely people...
Are you ready for a new challenge at City Crafter

This week we have Marina hosting for us with the theme
S.W.A.L.K


Marina wants us to use a letter or an envelope this week

I made a card which actually looks like an envelope... This is the front


And this is the back


Pretty easy actually as the front text is a digital image. I stamped and paper pieced the rose using Copics to colour the leaves and stem, then covered it with glossy dimensional... A few little hearts just finish the romantic look


Of course you could just do this on an envelope

We have a Guest Designer with us this week ... Jenny Martin... Many of you will know Jenny, but if you don't, do hop on over to her lovely blog - she makes fabulous creations

So... Have you any ideas? If you need a little inspiration the CCCB team have some lovely creations up on the blog ... Go take a look

I'm also going to enter my card at AAA Card Challenges


Thanks for your visit, have fabulous day!

Definitely frame worthy Ros the touch of red together with the black makes for a beautiful card and the GA really adds a lovely shine to the rose.
