Here is my card - I don't use patterned papers much and I really enjoyed making this - I used a stencil and drew round all the sections on two pieces of co-ordination paper then cut the pieces out and glued them down using the stencil as a guide. I have all the sections left to make another one with the patterns in alternative places.
There are three different items on here that I have had for a while and not used yet until now, they are the papers which are Lili of the Valley and came free with a magazine., the fairy stamps which are from a Cardio set and the Clarity stencil that I used as a template to cut out and arrange the papers. I drew stitch lines round everything and added some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink around the edge of the main piece. A touch of glitter and four blue stones and that was it.

Such a delightful card, Chris. I bet it took ages to line up all the different elements. I love the pastel shades against the black. Jx
