MMCS - My Favourite Things!

Good Morning!

This week at the MY MUMS CRAFT SHOP BLOG all of the Design Team are using products by the brand My Favourite Things! I decided to make a C&S Birthday Card which was also given to Andy for his birthday on Monday. 

I kept the card simple by stamping the sentiment in the centre then adding some Frantage and star embellishments. Although now after having a second look I wish I had moved the stars inwards a little bit so there isn't so much space between them and the sentiment, ho hum!

You can find the Stamp Set I used on today's card HERE.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

ALLSORTS - ALL SENTIMENTAL

CUTE CARD THURSDAY - CLEAN & SIMPLE

INGREDIENTS -
