Papertake Weekly Challenge

Evening Crafters!! a bit unusual for me to squeeze in a card on a Tuesday night but I felt like having a wee play with my new stamps from The Craft Barn, some more Stamping Bellas – I just love them, so here is my card for The Papertake Weekly Challenge and their theme is Buttons, Bows, Brads and Bling


This one is called PeekabooBella, isn’t it cute. The flowers are Prima and the papers were free with some magazine!! Used my MS border punch and added some ribbon.
