A DL size for Kraftyhand's challenge

Hi there blog pals .
Welcome to my room .Wow it has been wet all day here . Every thing in the garden  has had a beautiful soaking .
Hope that you are all enjoying your day and whatever you are doing .

My card to share today is for the June challenge for Kraftyhands .

                  June Challenge - No Squares Allowed

If this is your first visit to our Challenge Blog please be sure to read the rules which are at the top of the challenge  page.
Remember the challenge closes at 12 noon on Friday 5th July 2013.

The DT have created  more stunning masterpieces to inspire you .I do hope that you visit their blogs and leave some blog lovin'.

Here , I have used  Beautiful Baroque Die Cut for this DL sized creation .
The die cut had the leafy background but I cut the top half of it away from the lady so that she was more prominent  on this card .
 DL cards are not a common card shape/size seen on many craft blogs . But I found that this sized die cut image just right for it .
And besides I have a huge stack of DL envelopes .
 The sentiment came with the image .
Card  from my stash as is the floral ribbon .
We had a great selection of entries last month . Thank you to those who shared their creations with us and I hope that I get to see more of your talent .
Congratulations to the winners from last month .

 

 

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne
