Guest Designer Card for Gerda Steiner Designs - Take What You Need




I spotted a post on Facebook recently asking for people to Guest Design for Gerda Steiner Designs to make a card for them.  I replied and was very excited to be asked to join in!

So here I am with my card created using the 'Take What You Need' printable greeting card which you can find here on the website.

I printed the card design on to white card and then decided to use the front panel matted on to blue and brown card to give the edge of my card some definition.

I coloured the digi image with my Promarkers and then cut the little slips at the bottom of the card before attaching them back to the design using small scraps of double sided tape so they can be easily removed:


Don't forget to check out the Gerda Steiner Designs website here and the GSD Stamps Group here on Facebook.
