Enjoy the rhythm fancy fold card

This card has a great profile and stands well to display both the lovely stamped images and the fancy folds. This stamp set makes brilliant cards for teenagers but is also suitable for the musical people in our lives of all ages. 



I've teamed it with a musical embossing folder and added a ribbon of paper from the new Fresh as a Daisy papers. Ive also brushed a little of the new colour ink -Pecan Pie - to highlight the musical embossing and  pull colours together. Early Espresso stamping makes the images pop. The new items are available from 2nd May but the others are all online now.



Thanks so much for joining me again today.
