This is another of the Hinged cards and this is very simply made.
All I have used for this is the Grateful Lattice and Mating Basics.
The main reason I use the matting basics is because I am rubbish at cutting a straight line ... no matter what I do it always goes wonky.
I try to straighten it that much that the card ends postage sized by the time I have finished and is neither use not ornament.
And I bet a lot of you have the same problem .... Yes?
So out come the matting basics and then my card is neat and tidy from the word go ... and all I did was cut the Lattice out and add it to some patterned card that has been embossed.
The sentiment has been stamped and embossed in silver and cut from Labels 20 which is one of my all time favorite shapes.
I added a very large satin bow with a Dazzler in the centre and then added self adhesive pearls to each of the cross sections of the Lattice.
The finished card is 5 x 7" and I have added my "A"Frame to the back to display it.
More tomorrow

Hi Christina, I have the same problem with straight lines. No matter what I use I cannot get a line straight. I love your cards and use your designs often, thank you for showing so many different projects to try.
