A beautiful card in a gorgeous colourway. The clever design, pretty layered image, fabulous embossed corner and super faux stitching are all wonderful.

This is so well put together with lots of different elements and layers.

I just fell in love with Leslie's VW campervan full of groovy chickens. The dark and dramatic inky background papers make the colours pop and the flip flap greeting inside is the coolest. A fabulous project.

Perfect masculine card for her son, love her color choices and could resist a blinged out hefty pup!!!

Koyel chose #122 Dreja 

Love the background work. And the dies

Beautiful monochromatic colours. I really like the colouring and the digi stamp itself.

An ingenious die-cut and fun little digi. The whole very childlike and cheerful. I love it.

Love the grungy wire bird and the thread really sets this card apart!
