Creative Inspirations DT Card

Morning Guy's

This week at Creative Inspirations it's time for another challenge.

This week it's NO FLOWERS.......

aaaaarrrgggghhhhh i nearly had a heart attack when i saw this lol

Here's my card i used heart die cuts instead of my normal flowers.

I wanted to have a go at creating folds and pleats after i watched Zoe's fab video

you can find it here.

This was my first attempt at this technique, it took

me about an hour to colour Tilda but i am over the moon with it ,

I can only improve on it right?

I'd like to enter this into a few challenges....

Make it Colourful.....Pleats and folds

Stamp Fairy Challenge......New Technique

Bearly Mine Challenge.....Anything Goes
