The design was traced to fit a certain size circle with some hills added using another plate, then coloured using pencils. The brick wall effect was done using an embossing folder after I'd cut out the circle from the piece of kraft card. I also cut a frame using the same die set. Once assembled I thought it needed a little something extra so as well as a sentiment I also added a little picket fence, a lucky black cat and a dog. They do seem to be facing each other out but hopefully they are friends!!

The parchment looks great with the bricked background, and I love the cat & dog together! Cute idea for a great little card :)
ReplyDeleteA fantastic new home card Val. I love the brick effect embossing folder that you've used for it too.
