Bordering on Romance - edgily

The edgelits in the summer mini catalogue are perfect for adding a special feel to a card! They come in a pack of two and this card was made using the scalloped die:

I used the coordinating embossing folder first and then simply lined up the die to cut a small amount off the front of the card base. Here's how it looks when it's standing up:

I added a panel stamped with a pretty sprig from Bordering on Romance. It's coloured with in-colour markers and matted onto Pool Party card stock, and finished with a piece of bakers twine tied into a pretty bow.

And just in case you were curious to see how well that edglit die cuts... it's gives a great finish!

Are you up to seeing more photos of my weekend away? The little town of Chepstow wasn't far from where we stayed and I fell in love with it. There was live music going on when we arrived and the sun was shining, so the boys sat outside a café and enjoyed the atmosphere while my daughter and I browsed some of the lovely little shops in the town. There's lots of history:

This is a replica of the huge wooden sign that used to hang here at No 5 Mary Street in Victorian times. It used to be a grocery then. On the high street, there are plaques on the pavement outside the shops with a list of all the businesses that have traded there - like this one at No 2 Beaufort Square:

We were charmed by some of the jubilee window displays. I loved the crown and the book on the chair in this little antique shop, just as if her majesty had got up to nip to the loo:

If you ever find yourself in Chepstow, I would highly recommend the Lime Tree for the very best in informal dining. We all agreed that the food was excellent, the service brilliant and the cosy atmosphere very inviting.

Hello? You haven't gone to sleep have you? Oh dear, I think it's time for me to shuffle off...!

I'll be back with a quick card for Three Minute Thursday tomorrow. Hope to see you then.
