I had some friends over to craft last Friday, 

We spent the day making Toppers

We used pretty vintage images,beautiful lace, 

Flowers leaves, ribbon, bows and embellishments

And Die-cut frames, which we cut up to add some extra detail.

This one has 2 ornate Die-cut frames, 

each frame is cut into 4 pieces.

One is arranged in the corners, and the other slipped in 

between to create a full frame.

I had such a lots of bits and bobs left over that I made a few more Saturday morning, before I tidied up.

The last 2 toppers also have a matching band,

when added to a simple background

They complete the card

This one is 8 by 8 inches

Thanks Roberta and Edel for a lovely day.

Thanks for stopping by today.
