Week 140 Free and Easy February!

Good Morning Everyone,

Today's post is my card for the Allsorts Challenge which is entitled Free and Easy February and this is my offering.  This card is using one of my favourite crafting products - Artists Spackle.  For those that haven't used it before have a go. It is a dimensional paste that you can use in so many ways.  For this design I have used it with a Special Touch mask (not sure which one but will pop it on later when I have a look what it is called!)  I then used gold mica powder and Wild Honey distress ink to colour.  It may take a couple of layers of distress ink but it is worth it.  I have also added some roses that I have made using a punch, I love making these and whenever I put them on a card it is admired.  The Spellbinder border and gold mirri card, pearl cardstock for the background just finishes it all off.  I think this would make a lovely Wedding card and also a Golden Wedding too. 

I hope that you like my offering for today I certainly enjoyed making it and I hope that you have something that you can pop into the Free and Easy February Challenge over at Allsorts.  The other girls on the DT have also posted some stunning cards so I hope that you are inspired by these.

Thank you for popping by and please leave a comment I am always so grateful for all your comments.

Bye for now and hope that the snow doesnt get too bad for you, what an excuse to craft though!!!
