Time to Fess Up!

Hello everyone out there in blog land!
It's Sunday which means a new challenge over at
The Crafty Pad!
Challenge # 120 Spots & Dots let us see you go Dotty!
This week we are kindly sponsored by Letraset

Who are offering a fabby pack of 5 Aquamarkers

We are also sponsored by our very own Lovely Lorraine from L.R. Designs


 Okay, so, 'fessing up time!
 I'm a bad bad bad bad girl!
I made my card for the challenge DT.....but.....I stupidly forgot all about the Spots & Dots!
*Blushing Furiously*
I guess you could say the creator was totally Dotty!
So here's my card, minus the spotty & dotty bits!


I was feeling so pleased with myself & my card too! 
The DT were asked to use the 



I opted to keep my card fairly simple as I didn't want to detract from the Recipe!
I printed the recipe onto some pearlescent paper then cut out.


I've been working on a big project (top secret for now) using gate fold cards & decided this design would suit the recipe just perfectly!
I used a sheet of A5 textured chocolate brown card for the base card.
The DP I used was part of a download from Craftystash I keep using these papers as they are so versatile!
I apologise for the quality of my pics as I took them when it was dark & the colours just aren't true, no matter how I tried to fix them!


I added some flowers from Sweetpea Polly's Crafty Things & some leaves punched out using my woodware punch.
To finish it of I added this neat little frog fastner, 


it's the kind of thing you see on Oriental jackets & blouses.
I got this from Mei Flower at a recent Craft Show! I think it's just perfect for this kind of card! It's something just a little bit different from ribbon!
Inside the card which you can't see on any of the pics,  there is a linen textured paper insert. I added a strip of the DP down either side just to tie it all together.
I'm going to send this card to a friend who's feeling a bit down at the mo with a lovely bar of Green & Black's Chocolate!
