New AAA Cards Challenge - Follow My Lead

 


It's time for a new challenge on the AAA Cards Challenge Blog and this fortnight we're playing follow my lead:


We're following Jane and here is her card:


And here's another view of my card:


I used Jane's card as a sketch - I didn't have a suitable die cut or bold sentiment so I changed that part of the card by using a sentiment label from Funky Fossil Designs.

For more details about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

The panel on the left of the card was created using the Ink and Flip Butterfly Pattern Stencil from Uniko - I used Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and Daffodil Delight from Stampin' Up.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

As You Like It Challenge - favourite card style: simple (I enjoy making CAS cards and focussing on just one or two elements.  I also don't feel confident using lots of embellishments and I often don't like the results!)
Daisy Chain Challenge - no designer paper
