I love the effects of Core'dinations paper after it has been embossed in the Cuttlebug. For this card, an entry for The Fresh Batch, Colour Create and Sketch and Stash, I used several Cuttlebug embossing folders. For the background, I used the flowery/swirly one, for the flowers I used the lacy one and Swiss dots for the centres of the larger flowers. I think it's a great sketch and I used one of my flower stamps for the first time for the smaller flower. The sentiment is Penny Black.
Colour Create stipulated the colours Chocolate, Coffee and Cream. Who could resist that combination? The additional, optional element was distressing. I think that this effect is minimal in the card, but I quite like the overall effect.

Daisy and my daughter have gone home for a couple of days after being joined by her husband for the Easter weekend. They are due to return in midweek, until then, I'll try to get a few cards made!
Beautiful card. I can't get the coredinations here just now and I have never used it before but I can't wait to get some so I can play with it in my cuttlebug!
