This is my entry for the MSE Card Challenge this week - a thrifty card. Mine is not strictly a thrifty card but I have used lovely paper and minimal embellishments. Costed as follows: card blank 15p from Craftwork Cards; Dovecraft Wild Blossom paper x 1 sheet 6p from Creative Craft World; Butterfly chipboard shape 5p from CCW as before; pink card candy dots from Craftwork Cards x 3 approx 2p; printed message from Craftwork Cards 6p. So the sum total of my card excluding glue and 3D foam is: 34p. Is that MSE, don't think it's too bad for a large sized card ;-)
As I had all the Dovecraft stuff out also made these two cards - very pink! The bottom one is my favourite with the paper flowers.

I love your challenge card - and I think 34p is very reasonable :) You know mine was only so cheap as all papers, etc were 'donated' ;) I do think my favourite is the bottom one as well though, I love the way you've embellished t x
ReplyDeleteGreat cards rainmac! I agree 34p for such a lovely card is a bargain especially when you think how much they cost in the shops. Those legless brads look fab and your papers are really pretty.
