Guest Design at Creative Creases



 Good morning, this is the first of two posts today and my Guest Design card for this fortnight's challenge at Creative Creases, thanks for inviting me to join you Debbie! 

I have no idea what this fold is called but it's my new favourite fold and I've since made a few cards using it. There are plenty of 'how to's' online and it's much easier than I thought it would be. For this card I've used  Lavinia stamps and stencils. All the panels, inside and out have been ink blended using Distress Oxide inks, then stencilled and stamped with a few added splatters. 

Thanks for visiting , be sure to check out the Creative Creases Challenge, it's such fun and there's always some wonderful ideas and  inspiration to enjoy,

Chris

A gorgeous card Chris! I love the colourways and the stenciled background and this Lavina stamp is so pretty too! It's such a perfect card design for your floral display, I love this, and congratulations on your Guest Design challenge. I was hoping to do some Spring planting but since the snow flurries have left us we've had nothing but rain...staying hopeful! Thanks so much for the note about the challenge too Michelle x
