With my pregnant colleagues birthday coming up, and after avidly reading my magazine with its lovely free papers, on Wednesday I started to plan this card. By Friday evening and after a hard day was finally ready.
This is my first attempt at this style of card and initially worried that I would not get the front fold correct but it was not that hard. I then was able to place my free vellum on the back of the card and quickly move to the front. I started by cutting out my images and quickly placed these on the gold mirror card to give it the lovely edge. I used my nestabilites circles to cut out the edging for the round hanging rabbit. I used several little gold rings to get the dangling bit just right and also added a "hand made with love" embelishment to finish it off. It was very fiddly but wow definately worth it. I felt it needed a little extra and after several placings decided on the little lemon bow at the top.
I have to say I do like this one and if she is not careful may have to just keep it so I can look at it.
