Perfect Companion

Hi folks today I tried the Perfect Companion from Stamping Dragon Designs

These are

Beautiful Quote Border great for scrapbook layouts or a card fronts, two borders included 12" Long for Scrapbookers and 1200 Long for Cardmakers.

1.I decided I would print mine in the 13cm by 18cm photo size on Picaso and got 2 on a page. I cut them both out the first I mounted onto a folded brown card and cut it out ensuring I cut it near the fold so the card would stand up. 2.The second image I cut the shadow element off and mounted it on 3d foam on the first.

3.To finish the card off I punched a hole in a craftwork card sentiment and put it on ribbon to look like a dog tag and then put gems on the collar.

This was such a quick but effective card ,

suitable for any dog lover.

Thanks for calling by.

"don't lose the plot"

4. I printed off the coral library card  embellishment out

on the 5 x 8 cm setting so I ended up with 9 elements on my page I then cut them out in 2 so I could fold them

then stuck them together .

I altered the wording to book read and to return

to keep check of whats happening with my library books.

 (my favourite embellishments)

to ensure I can mark my page.
