I love all the elements you have used for this card Chris and the fabulous grungy distressed style. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe backing paper, toned down looks amazing and the rub on 'imagination' has the look of embossing. I love how you have incorporated so many dies in this wonderful card - especially that new lattice one. Anne x
