hi again, yep another post again from me this morning, this time it's my DT card for CRAFTY RIBBONS the theme is RIBBON AND LACE.......
now you all love ribbon ad lace so you have no excuse not too play along!!

I am not too sure about my card for this week as i used some distressing ink around my image and i am not too happy with it!!! first time i have done this.... so not sure if i like this effect, the image is on a double spring thing so the image does wobble and the gypsy looks like she is actually dancing. This image was kindly given by Krista smith and you can find it here
