Carousel Fun

Hello friends,

I appreciate it so much that you come visiting today, it is such a blessing that people still make time to visit my blog. My card today is in the shabby chic style inspired by the challenge photo at The Shabby Tea Room Challenge blog. Usually I don’t use so many  colours together, so this was quite a challenge for me. The Cottage Cutz die “Carousel Silhouette” and colour combination just fits perfectly together to create a cheerful carnival  atmosphere on this card. I can still remember how I enjoyed myself on the merry-go-round horses when I was a child. Such great fun to go up and down and round and around while Mum and Dad watching  from the side.
