The backing paper, image and fancy diecut came from Terri's parcel so it wasn't difficult to decide I would diecut for the technique for this parcel. I found a snippet of card to put a scallopped circle behind the image and de cut a plain white circle to go behind the fancy diecut.
I loved the muted colours of the spotty backing paper which, sadly, was the only thing from the parcel for this card. Still, rules is rules and it met the criteria. I rummaged around in my stash and found this double sided spotty/olive green paper. A snippet of what card for the greeting and for the two dots on the tag and job done!!

May Swap parcel (Pat)
Our techniques challenges were: die cut, heat embossing and water colours. I could have used both heat embossing and de cuts on both parcels but I dutifully chose a different one for each parcel but what I haven't done yet is my personal challenge of all three techniques on one card using bits from both parcels. I will get there but whether I can incorporate my other challenge of a Christmas card from them as well .......we'll see.
Anyhow up .... here are the cards I made from Pat's parcel and I used the heat embossing for my technique.
The first one I just heat embossed the greeting. I found a small bit of toning paper in my stash for the greeting and the layer behind the image. I am entering this over at the Playground
The second one I heat embossed the red background paper. This was my favourite card of all of them and it sold very quickly after church on Sunday too.

Run circles round music
I love a new idea I have on my newest Pinterest board (see previous post) and decided to theme the paper and an embossing folder.
I used some music paper I have had for a long time, together with some cream and dark brown from the stash box. I cut circles from the music and stuck to the cream card before running it through the music embossing folder. I then just layered up, together with a greeting, and mounted on the base card.
