On Your Wedding Day

It's that time of the month where I share my creation for Natalie & Amy's with you. This month we have a great theme of....

FRAME IT!

you can use die cuts, stamps etc but your image must be framed.

I decided with a little help from Nige to use one of my Spellbinder Borderbilites to make a traditional frame. I was going to mitre the corners, but decided it looked fab like it was.....

Today's creation is a 'just because' make that I made a while ago for my friend & boss Amy (of Natalie & Amy's). She has recently moved into her new house, she is sharing with her sister. So I thought I'd make them a card to celebrate.

So this weeks theme on My Time To Craft is....

ZENTANGLE


After much playing & research I decided to use this pattern of branches & leaves to fill the text. I did do it in black but you couldn't tell what it was, so a bit more research & I found out that you can use any colour & any pattern, doodle, filled space with patterns is classed as Zentangle!
