Happy Anniversary

I think i have a problem girls...........................................Cardboard Fetish!!!.............yep, been up to my old tricks with empty copy paper boxes again........

Very similar to an earlier card i shared here on my blog, but i do love this old cardboard especially when used for heart shapes. The addition of some acrylic paint from Ranger and a little Glamour Dust sprinkled on whilst the paint is still wet....................love how it looks ...

Guess this will be a 'just because' as i don't think it fits into any current challenges............although loosely speaking it is made with scraps, so if you know of any that it may be considered for then let me know :)
Papers.... Basic Grey 'Marrakech'
Paint.... Ranger 'Cloudy Blue'
Border Punch.... EK Success
Flowers.... Prima
brads and curly wire heart from stash
Sentiment unmarked.....sorry!
Hope you are having a 'crafty' time today...........see you soon ;-D

Hugs

  6. I'm so into tearing the front off cardboard boxes too to reveal the corrugated bit. It gives a lovely texture to a card and I love what you've done with yours. Very Shabby Chic!!Lynda xxx
