Crafting Cafe Blog Hop

Hi all, it's time for the Crafting Cafe blog hop!

Here's our blog badge

The Crafting Cafe  is a facebook group which aims to be: 
A place to share hints & tips, photos of your crafty projects or ask crafty questions. 
(We like to encourage crafters of all levels & abilities 
so don't be too shy to share your projects with us.)
 If you fnd a great crafty site or somewhere that is inspirational, 
please feel free to share that with us too!
If you'd like to join the Crafting Cafe, you'll find our page here
We also have a monthly challenge blog which you can find here
The theme changes each month & we have some great sponsors
who offer prizes make it even more fun!

Once a month we like to hop round each others blogs & leave some love!
There are no formal rules, just hop round all the blogs on the list & have some fun!
This time, I thought I'd share a quick Evening Reception Acceptance card I made.
I apologise in advance for the photos as they aren't great!


The image I have used is Scottish Thistle from Just Inklined
I've used this image for thank you cards, sympathy cards wedding invitations
to mention just a few & it has always gone down well!
Here's a closer look!


I cut the image out with a circle nestie & my intention was to either ink it while
it was still in the die or to ink the edge.
Those of you who looked closely will by now have noticed I did neither.
Ooopsy! lol 
I coloured the image with promarkers this time
The matt behind the image is actually a cog die but I liked the edgeing.
I used some of the little pieces that it cut out as embellishments
instead of gems.
This card is totally flat for posting.
Thanks for hopping by!
