The backing paper has been in my bits box for some time ... along with many other"bits" (many other boxes! ) I decided to make a card with it using this months free stamp from Craft Stamper magazine. I know its very PINK but I like pink. Actually in "real life" its a bit browny/greeny as well
This card may be winging its way to France as part of a commission for my friend Jeanie... who lives there. I'll have to weigh it first on Joe's jewellery scales... It might be too heavy! :-)

It is too heavy Jeanie would like the cards to weigh no more than 20 grams due to French postage... quite a challenge.
Here's what I came up with . It weighs 17grams with it's envelope & insert

Great use of that stamp, Sue. You've given it a whole new look with the pink! Isn't it a satisfying feeling to make something that looks this good with bits from the bit box.
Love the colouring on this and those flowers look lovely. Your friend will love it.

Great use of the free stamp - it's a good one this time and I'm planning to use mine later today hopefully. Been too busy in the garden just lately!!
I've just made a quick calculation, that if this card was pure 24ct gold and 15 grammes it would be worth £378 at todays' gold price ... I wonder if we could fool Jean if we were to gold leaf it :o)

Phew, only 17 grams?!? I doubt any of my cards would make it over the Channel then! You did make a lovely one though Sue. Well done and I loved the first idea too.
