blue fan and small flower design

  



GINGERSNAP CREATIONS - GC99 RANDOM REDHEAD CHALLENGE - FANS

I made the small blue fan for my card after watching this demonstration  http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/2011/04/juliet-arrighi-dahlia-fold-fan.html  It was a lot of fun to do!  I have submitted my card for the Gingersnap Creations C99 Random Redhead Challenge - Fans  here
http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/2011/04/gc99-random-redhead-challenge-fans.html   The stamps that I have used on this card are from HERO ARTS:  the bird pattern on the background is from the Antique Engravings set and the flower pattern is stamped with one tiny flower from the All Occasion Messages stamp set.  It's difficult to see from my photo but I have added one amber gem at the base of my fan.
I have also entered this card in the HERO ARTS Hostess Same Stamp Challenge  http://www.flickr.com/groups/heroarts/discuss/72157626398755471/  .

Thank you for your visit. I hope that you are having a wonderful day!
