In today's "Fun With Frames" workshop we used two Presscut background dies - Postage Squares (PCD276) and Tall Cross Hatch (PCD274) to make two very different cards. The first was decorated with floral patterned papers (the perfect way to use up leftover paper). For the second card we used the @personalimpressionsuk Sharon Callis Ship Stamp (SCCCSA6017) which we embossed and painted with distress inks and finished off with an MDF anchor.

 Yesterdays workshop had a Romantic feel as we all enjoyed making a couple of cards perfect for Anniversaries but could easily be changed to compliment any occasion.


  





The concertina fold card is made from left over strips of card and paper so perfect for using up those scraps.
