~DS162~

Hi there.

It's time for a new Deconstructed sketch.

I hope you like my card....

I designed this card to teach my lovely Wednesday night copic ladies this week.They were learning paper-piecing this week, so I went for simple colouring, which these super cute Lawn Fawn stamps are perfect for.

Here is Jen's fabulous sketch....

I hope you have time to play along with us this week.

It's time for a new DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH

Here is my card....

And here is Jen's fabulous sketch.

As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to test out this new doily Prima die. I used vellum for the die cut and it just needed 2 layers of card stock shim then it cut really well.

I also used my new La-La Land lattice border die underneath the little elephants, which are from the new Simple Stories baby range. 

I hope you have time to play along with us this week.
