MATERIALS USED, 

 BASE CARD IS WHITE SIZE C5 350 GSM WITH MATCHING ENVELOPE,

PAPERS ARE FROM KANBAN

IMAGE IS FROM A CD ROM BY PANTHEON ARTS AND GRAPHICS.

PINK AND CREAM SKELETON LEAVES  ARE BY ANITA

FLOWER AND DRAGONFLY HAVE BEEN DIE CUT BY THE BIG SHOT DIE CUTTING MACHINE, IN A PINK SATIN FINISH CARD STOCK.

THE LARGE PINK GLITTERED BORDER DOWN THE EDGE OF THE CARD, HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY USING DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND THEN COVERING WITH GLITTER. I PERSONALLY LOVE THIS EFFECT, AS YOU CAN MATCH THE GLITTER TO THE COLOUR THEME OF YOUR DESIGN.
