Beatrix Potter Frame Card

Morning all all hope your all having a good day, I am supporting a very bad headache, so not doing to much today.

I thought I would share with you a Beatrix Potter frame card I made a while ago, it's from the card making collection from Crafters Companion , I was so easy to do and enjoyable too, it's a lot easier to put together than you may think and you get a lovely card when you have finished.

Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely day.

Morning all hope you are all well, I am now back home trying to get myself organised, I'm not sure that's quite happening, lol.
I had a fantastic time at the NEC and bought loads of goodies, probably more than I should have, it's only once a tear though.

Today I am sharing with you a card for a friends birthday that I made just before I went to the NEC. It had to be a really quick card because I was running out of time, so I used one of the everyday Mulberry Wood Characters from the paper crafting kit.
I just loved the colour of the backing card I matted it onto a 6 x 6 card base, I  love the topper it's so cute ,  I added a sentiment that matches perfectly.
