Morning my crafting friends, hope this finds you all well? Thank you for visiting me today I do hope you come and visit again, please do leave a comment as its always nice to know what people think of my creations.

I would love to welcome my latest followers Marie-Louise, (Marie has a beautiful blog you can find here http://myworld-marie-louise.blogspot.co.uk/), Doreen (Doreen's beautiful blog is here http://doreensdream.blogspot.co.uk/,  & Pamellia, welcome Ladies and welcome to any others I may have forgotten, so sorry if I have.

I promised you my other Figgy Lane card today, I promise this is the last you will see of it for a while as I know it can be quite boring seeing the same card even if there is a slight difference. Today's is still an aperture one but I have heat embossed the outline only this time and coloured the rest, its a combination of the last two if you like?

I inked the folder up with my Versamark Ink pad and heat embossed the outline with White embossing powder. Coloured the rest in with Distress Inks and again, overlaid some snow acetate over the top.

I put it into an aperture card but with a wider edge so I could decorate it with two boarders and some ribbon, then coloured in the sentiment to match the card. The most fiddly bit of this, believe it or not was doing the boarders. I used Satin card, something I have used many times but for some reason this would not cut, five times it went through the machine and even then the  Satin film was starting to come off the card whilst taking it out of the die, luckily it only came off the back so the front was okay to use. I added the ribbon, not to hide anything but because I felt it needed it rather than just two boarders back to back.
