Good afternoon , my posts will be a bit hit and miss for the next few months as we are moving out of the school we live in back to our own home in Bude so packing and sorting and throwing things out will be my main focus with a bit of crafting thrown in(until I pack that too!!) So please be patient with me and keep popping back to see me :o)

My card today was created for the KKCrafty girls challenge with the Come and get it challenge sketch.  I hope you like it :o)

The papers used for this card are from the do crafts Papermania Capsule collection called Aqua paper pack.  I have used lilac card to layer it. A fiskars border punch for the edges as well as a scalloped pair of scissors

Side/inside view
