    This is a great card - striking colours and really clever use of the 3 squares...thanks for your comment, I've got four sets of Nesties die cuts and can't recommend them enough...(or big punches if you don't have a die cut machine) such an easy way of getting a really effective finish..I'd be lost wihout them...Esther

    What a great idea to include an aperture; makes me want to try another design. I love the little flourishes around the square.

    Great take on the challenge! Lovely card - I personally wouldn't have used the red glitter board but just used a black suqared outline... that said it works really well so maybe I'll have to start trying to think a bit more adventurous!

    Beautiful and so very creative! I love the flower stamps. One of the good things about visiting around is to get to see what beautiful stamps there are out there. And also to get ideas such as your square aperture.

    You really "thought outside the box" on this one - great card, love the stamping around the edges of the aperture.
    rock n roll is when you ink the stamp with one colour and then lightly dip the edges into another shade.
