I have had all sorts of ideas this week, but they haven't come to fruition, so I decided to 'clear my mind' and go back to using my tried-and-true Top Note die. I hope you're not thoroughly sick of seeing it, after all my "quilted" Top Notes that I shared with you the other day! This die is just so versatile; I love it to bits.
The only stamping on this card is the sentiment, which is a new, to-die-for CUTE stamp, that will be available from 1st September. It even has its own co-ordinating punch (also used on my card) - you'll just *have* to have these, people!!
I love all the colours in this week's challenge, and think they complement each other beautifully. Here is the card I made today .... please forgive the 'questionable' photography. It was all I could manage, quickly snapping a shot of my card out on our decking, before the gusty wind picked it up and carried it away. (I got it back.)
