Age Is Just A Number

 Hello there friends!

Today I'm happy to be a Guest Designer at The Paper Funday, so much fun to be part of the talanted Design Team. For the month of April the challenge is: Anything Goes with Optional twist: Use Die Cuts.

For my card, which is in a fairly simple but elegant style, I have only used two Dies. The first is Budding Wine from Tonic Studio and the other is for the sentiment from PY Hobby. The paper I used is from Paper Favourites - Vintage Flowers paper pack. Vellum and a single Enamel Dot finished it all.

I hope you also want to join the challenge so jump over to The Paper Funday and see what the rest of the design team has created, and have fun!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
