Hi lovely Crafters, Today’s project is inspired b Hi lovely Crafters,

Today’s project is inspired by the Stamping Through the Catalogue challenge. I CASE'd this month's #STTCCASE , keeping the simple layout while following the sketch and colour combination.
I used the Nature's walk Designer Series Paper. 
It was the perfect opportunity to use up lots of my scrap pieces-proof that even the smallest leftovers can create something beautiful! 💚
Here’s my finished card. I hope it inspires you to give it a try too! 😊is card followed the sketch and the colours. Challenges are always fun!
