April Swap Card

By
I have great fun each month joining in a Face Book card swap challenge. Last month our leader Sue set out the brief for a top folding card with a built in stand. Colours were black, white and gold and we had to add LOADS of bling.
Here is the card I made





And here is the lovely card I received in return



Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon xx

Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
