The Card Candy just happened to co-ordinate exactly with some Crafty Individuals background paper (from their Background Papers Book 1). I coloured the "Colour-Me" owls to match with Promarkers. The scallop border around the message is a bit of the glitter paper. Unfortunately, you don't see the effect very well in the photo, but it really is pretty. The stamped fleur de lys inner border is from a set of Just Rite stamps. I've only recently discovered these stamps, and bought the set at Harrogate, from Once Upon A Stamp. They work really well with Nestabilities, and the 1 & 5/8ths inch size fits beautifully round the Craftwork Cards in-circle messages. A silver peel off border around the background paper put the finishing touch to the card.

That's lovely, Lynne! You are doing very well trying out all your new things. I have cleared my table a bit in the hope that I might get inspired!!!
Hi Lynne. I think I must be going absent minded in my old age. I stopped by yesterday and admired your beautiful card but forgot to leave a comment!!!!
I love that backing paper. I was tempted with them at Harrogate but had already spent too much!!! It works so well with your gorgeous owls.

Hi Lynne
Here at last - thanks for staying with me and really appreciate your kind comments.
Love your owls and had a close read up on the frame you used, never heard of them either but they are likely to feature on my NEC list to check out.
