This one is a C5
I have use 3 toning blue backgrounds, which are matted and layered on to kraft card.
Added a wide lace band, with a hessian and 
lace trim down the side,
over-layed 2 of the matted layers. and add a greeting.
I used a selection of die cut leaves and swirls down the side
and a selection of loop and tail bows 
and finished with a rose in the centre

I added a pretty scrap of lace under the rolled detail
and a selection of tiny paper roses
a selection of die-cut leaves and finished with some ribbon loop and tails
and two 4 loop bows.


8 by 8 inch white scalloped card
This card has 2 embossed panels, 
which were cut together in a wavy edge
so that the card has two contrasting designs
