Ooops!

I intended to enter this card into 2 challenges, but I missed the deadline for the Fab Friday sketch, oosps! Nevermind, at least I have squeezed into the Paper Players #128 colour combo challenge.

This layout is fab, it is quick to do and can be used for loads of images, both girlie and those hard to make for blokies. I'm sure this one will be making an appearance in some other colour ways very soon.

Ingredients:
