City Crafter 243

Good morning!!

It's the first challenge of the year at City Crafter and this week Char is hosting for us with a theme of
Burlap Love
Make a card or project using burlap


It was my Wedding Anniversary on Sunday so the card I made was the one I gave to my husband


I used the negative space of a bird die ... That I have never used even though I've had it for some time... and put burlap ribbon in 2 shades behind it


Our Guest Designer this week is Larissa ... winner from week 238 ... Click on her name to be taken to her blog 
This week's winner will also be offered a GD spot with us here at City Crafter


My fello DT have some more inspirations for you up on the blog - hop over and take a look - I hope you'll be able to join us this week.

I'm also entering this at Darnell's challenge for  


Never used that die before...

Have a lovely day and take care

Happy Anniversary dear Ros! What a super way to use the negative from the bird. Never would have thought to use 2 shades of burlap--just perfect! Hope you have a great birthday, too!

I've seen this gem earlier this week but it took me a few days to come back to blogging...you know why :) The burlap theme has been a challenge for me and your idea to use it with that bird die is gorgeous. I love that "love"sentiment too. And the wooden heart is such a sweet addition. A beauty; as usual :)
