Card in a Hurry

Welcome

I needed a card in a hurry, and also wanted to use this NBUS cover die ..
(I cannot access it to give the brand at this point - will add it tomorrow)


The background is a piece from a calendar page


The centre was solid, so I added a piece of lace, and then a red oval diecut with the white embossed sentiment on (from a Rare Earth magazine freebie set).  A few pale blue flat back pearls completed the the card front, which was mounted on a red base.


I finished the inside with a trimming from the calendar piece
