Hi lovely Today I want to share with you some of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper that I recieved in my pre-order.

Hi lovely I am sharing another card from the Ornate Garden Suite, this time showcasing the Ornate Layer Dies. There are 7 awesome layer dies in this set, this card uses two of them. The large flower stamp from Ornate Style stamp set is perfect for colouring in with your favourite colouring tool and fussy cutting out. You could use any colour as the first layer, I have used Mint Macaron Cardstock. I also placed 3 of the pretty Gilded Gems onto the card too, these are lovely embellshments that add to your card.
