Hi everyone , i thought I would show you a couple of cards i made I made two baby cards one blue and one pink they are so cute i got these from the splitcoasters website, once i saw them i thought i would make them. The next one was with acetate and i used garden whimsey (just love that stamp set)i i used the new border punch as well isnt it georgous. The next card I used the technique crayon resist i just thought it turned out fantastic i punched the scollop punch and added some string so it can turn , i thought i was very clever with this one.
