Do you ever start crafting and 3 hours later you haven't actually achieved anything? Well this is me this week, suffering from Crafters Block. I have had no inspiration at all and with a long list of to do's I really need my brain to function. I can also do with a cleaner but I guess that isn't going to happen either, lol. It has taken me a couple of days to come up with my card for today and I have kept inside very plain for me.
I have used the image Valentine Masquerade by Jasmine Becket-Griffith available right HERE. I have coloured her using my copics and then I added some mist using a sponge and a white brilliance ink pad.
Sorry, definitely picture heavy......
I made a gatefold card using the gorgeous Marianne Design Creatables Anja Edge LR0202
And the gorgeous Marianne Design Craftables Butterfly CR1205
Papers are Melissa Frances and Basic Grey
The leaf die used with the floral arrangement in the right hand corner is also a Marianne Design Creatables Decorative Elegance LR0157
Flowers are a combination of WOC and Marianne Design.
The punch used on the edge is a Martha Stewart punch and the red ribbon is from my stash.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:-

Craft us crazy - favourite embellishment (hard one, flowers, punches, lacy diecuts)

I have just bought the Marianne Die and was looking for ways to use it and your card has really caught my eye, can you tell me how you did it as I am trying to work out if you did a gatefold with an overhang so they matched in the centre
