prima Delight number 3

IMG_5944 (Medium)Sorry I missed last night post, but I am not well – terribly sore throat – voice is not good, and I came home from work yesterday and fell asleep for a good long while! Still no better today, and I am hoping I am better for my class tomorrow otherwise I will be relying on sign language to give instructions! Todays card is the other card I had time to make using Prima Delight paper, ( love the image), and lace, flowers and a charm. I fussy cut the whole frame and mounted the girl image behind it. I think this evening I will pull out this paper and look at it again, see if I can do any more fussy cutting while I am watchingb tv. Til tomorrow….
