Allsorts Challenge ~ Anything But Square

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lorraine has chosen the theme of  'Anything But Square'.  The challenge this time will run for two week.  As I haven't made one for a long time, I decided to make a Bridge Fold Card for my DT card.

It was my daughter's birthday this month and this is the card I made for her.  The patterned paper was from a paper pad from The Works.  I used a Marianne Design cross stitching die and the cross stitching was done with crochet cotton.


This fortnight there will be two winners who will win a fabulous prize from Craft Stash. Winners will be announced on Friday 25th August.

I am joining in the following challenges:
