a bit of Altenew for The Flower Challenge #40


I know.  yes.  I'm back.  But I've had this idea for The Flower Challenge #40 that HAD to be made!  I may have done a wee bit of shopping during the holidays - well someone had to buy me that perfect gift that keeps on giving!


One of the items I used today was a free with purchase that came with my new Spellbinders Platinum 6 die cut machine - the banner dies from Scrapbook.com - it truly was a banner day when I conquered this shaped card design!!

Ready?  set... card:

No it isn't magic... an inverted banner of acetate
makes the magic happen!  I love how those
darling Weekend Doodles get to hang out off the edge!
 
It folds flat for sending …
 
 
… and with a few more of those banners, it has a cute little place for the inside sentiment!
 

Hope you like it... I hope the gals at The Flower Challenge like it, too!!  I'll also be sending it over to The Altenew January 2020 Inspiration Challenge!

Enjoy the rest of your week - and thanks for your visits!
