The decorated papers around the bottom are from the recent sale-a-bration promotion
The above card took most of the card making session but there was just enough time to put together the following one using the retired ‘detailed’ framelits and ‘falling petals’ embossing folder. I cased the original design from Amanda at The Craft Spa
