For a dress maker

Morning everyone & a happy Friday to you all, nearly the weekend Yayyyyyyyyy

I was asked to make a card for a Portuguese mum, 

she said her mum loved dress making & the colour blue

I got out an old kit by Kanban, & i`m so pleased how the card came out

The kit is Bella Fiori (all papers & topper from the kit)

My new favourite thing at the moment is Kraft card
