A MOTHER {Guest Designing for Scrap Africa}

{GDT Scrap Africa}

What a surprise when I was invited by the lovely Denise from Scrap Africa to be a guest designer for them.  And needless to say I am just so honoured. My script was to create a masculine and a feminine card.

First up is my FEMININE card:

I used this beautiful image created by Art by Miran which is called GRACIE and you can purchase her here.  I have coloured Gracie with H2O water colour pencils.  The sentiment is from Hannelie - DESERT DIVA.  Its a centre step card design.  The design papers are from Basic Grey and the folded embellishments have been created with a Fold It Swirls template.  The little flowers have been created with a punch.  The brads are from my stash.
