This was a card I designed for my daughter on law's birthday in July. I was aiming for the broderie anglais look and I have to say I was pleased with the way it turned out. All the components are quite simple but the way it has come together is pleasing. I used 220 gsm card for the base and the top layers are concept 170 gsm card which has a lovely lustrous sheen to it. I shall find out tomorrow whether she was pleased with it!
