WORLD CARD MAKING DAY CHALLENGE AT LET'S SCRAP


HAPPY WORLD CARDMAKING DAY 
TO ALL MY FRIENDS!

We’re having a challenge over at Let’s Scrap, and you can find out all the info here.

To inspire you, I have made this card with a Let’s Scrap sketch:


To make up my card I used a sketch from Let's Scrap and the following from my hoarded stash (and oh boy!...... Do I have a lot!):



I sewed directly the diamond pattern onto my cardstock using black crochet thread and then sewed on the gold flower sequins and beads

I also used the following:
white CS card base
floral DP
scalloped white CS background
The sentiment is a peel off
gold cord and a metal heart charm




Will YOU make a card today?  Check out these fabulous sketches here, use one of them for your card and come and join us for the challenge – you have until the end of the month to join!
