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.
