Sizzix Bohemian Botanicals 3D embossing folder

Hello. A new challenge has started at The Alphabet Challenge. Meg has chosen the theme of ‘Green or Gold’. Here is my card:

The Design Team has some very varied makes as inspiration – so I hope you can come and join us with this challenge. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiments Designs – anything goes

TTCRD – anything goes

The sentiment is a label sticker from Tim Holtz. In hindsight – I maybe should have put it onto a piece of card instead of sticking it directly down onto the textured background – but there we are………
