The ingredients for this week's recipe at Cooking it up with Katie are leaves, embossing and a sticker.
I decided to use one of the stickers from a sheet of toppers which I bought when I first walked into a craft shop and hadn't clue what to buy or where to start. I think that these pre-made things are brilliant for those who don't have lots of the gear to create them from scratch or who need to make a quick card.
I inked my Cuttlebug leaves embossing folder with gold ink before running it through the bug and so have used the card on the de-bossed side (as that is the easier side to ink).
The strip of ribbon and the SU sentiment completed the card. As the meercats would say 'Simples!'
Do come on over and join in with the challenge, we'd love to see your creations.
