FUSSY AND FANCY CHALLENGE AND BLOG HOP - SPRING COLOURS

Hi everyone,

I am delighted to be back with a Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at  Fussy and Fancy  hosted by Katharina where the theme is entitled 'Spring Colours'.  This is a lengthy post but please DO read it to the end.  There are lots of prizes to be won for this lovely Challenge and Hop.

Sponsor:  The Fussy and Fancy Girls

This is a really exciting Challenge including a Blog Hop with the opportunity to win lots of prizes along the way.  

I have one prize to offer of one pack of 'Vintage Roses and Butterflies' toppers from Cardmaker's Delights  

All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is to make sure you are a follower of my Blog.  This is open to followers old and new.  Leave a comment on this post and that is it.  

There is also a prize on the Challenge Blog for the Random Winner

Here is the blog hop order


 So, onto my card.  I tried a different shape, as you know I love doing this.  I must admit I really like this shape and will be making more of these for sure.   I saw the idea on one of the Blogs and went ahead and played around creating my own version.  The three tags are made from Vintage Toppers from Cardmaker's Delights , flowers from Wild Orkchid Crafts and I have machine stitched around the edges.

Scoring Guidelines:

One sheet of A4 card.  I scored at  2inch,  4 inch,  6inch,  8 inch and  9.75

The squares turned to represent a diamond shape measure 3.25 inches suare, 3.5 inches square and 3.75inches suare.  I then made pockets to cover the bases and embellished.



.


  I do hope you have time to pop over and take a look at the very talented Design Team's work on the Fussy and Fancy  blog and take part in the hop.  It is a fabulous Challenge, it would be great if you could join in.

As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day!
