There is only one HAPPINESS in Life, to LOVE and be Loved
I am a small step ahead of my design team projects for Dutch Dare Challenge, but hey its much nicer being in front than frantically trying to play catch up. Next weeks DD challenge is a recipe challenge i.e.:
    • Basic Card
    • 3 pieces of cardstock
    • 2 pieces of design paper
    • 2 brads
    • 2 flowers
    • 3 buttons

It was quite nice to be told which elements you are allowed to use, because I don't know about you, but I can never decide where to start and stop with embellishments.

Please look the other way when you see the fold at the bottom of the flower pot!!!! Hope I am excused.
I also decided to enter this card for this week's Colour Create Challenge where the theme is a photo of a very ornate lilac fish . . . as well as for the Basic Grey Challenge which is having a spring theme this week. I used the following Basic Grey cardstock on my card:
- Sarah Oh Baby Girl
- Carlie Oh Baby Girl
Below are the tools I put to use creating this card.
The stamp was another of my new acquired Great Impressions stamps I treated myself with at the recent Johannesburg Hobby-X show.
Thanks again for popping in and for all your lovely inspirational comments. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
