Hi Crafters,
Wow we are nearly at the end of July, this month has flown yet again - scary stuff.
I'm here today to share my DT card for the new challenge at As You Like It.
You'll love this one as it will give you an opportunity to get out your favourite papers and make something fabulous.
We'd love you to tell us in your post WHY you feel these are your favourite papers please.
My ultimate favourite paper company is Graphic 45. The superb quality and beautiful patterns along with so many lovely elements within the designs are what makes them appealing to me. I love that you can fussy cut tags and toppers, flowers and tiny embellishments from the papers and their colours and patterns coordinate so well too.
However, I avoid using them too often because I can't bring myself to cut in to them! They are kept in my 'strokable' pile :) But I have made a special exception today.
Recipe
Papers - Graphic 45 - A Ladies Diary Paper Pad
Lace
Pearl Trim
Glitter
All the elements were cut from the papers and with the addition of some lace and pearl trim my card was finished.
Challenges I'd like to enter:

Sheer elegance Lorraine. Beautiful card. Thanks for joining Aud Sentiments challenge. Elaine
I too have papersI don't like to cut, but when you do it is something special. Elaine
This is gorgeous Lorraine! I have to admit to only just purchasing some G45 papers, though I've been drooling over so many of their collections for years, mostly because I wasn't sure I'd be able to bring myself to actually cut into them lol! :) xx
Mmmmm, those papers are so scrummy and bring such a gorgeous vintage feel to your card, which you have added to perfectly with the pretty lace and pearls. That must have taken some patience to cut all the elements from the papers but looks fabulous, and adds a lovely dimension to your design :-)
Can you believe I don't own any G45 papers?! To be fair, I don't need another paper brand addiction - lol!
Big hugs, Kat xx
