Crafty Design by Lee

Good morning!!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!  This post is all about the famous " bendi card " craze going on right now.  Regina is so amazing that she decided to create a " Cutting Cafe " bendi card of her own to share with all of us and this week the design team post is all about showing off the bendi card!! I used some valentine paper in wine color and a flower print to create what I'm calling "A bouquet of Birthday Wishes" because I also used some flower sprays from my local store to accent the open areas of the card.  The sentiment comes with the file and I added an outline to help the words standout from the paper backing.  Some lace trim and string of bling finish off the bottom area.   Check out some pics! I hope you've been inspired to try this design, its pretty cool and don't worry if you want to mail it the file also comes with a box template made to fit the card perfectly!! Thanks for stopping by!! ...

I chose nontradition colors for this project because although its nice to use the reds and pinks only its also nice to change it up a little bit.  Gives...
