Posted by: Anita | Thursday, July 08, 2010 at 05:51 PM
Initially I'd not have thought those colours would produce such a bright card - how wrong I was. I like the modern timelessness to your design & that spotted backing paper really provides such a good foil for the dhallenge colours. I'm getting quite excited at having a go. Thanks for all your hard work.
