I have used 'Squeak' from the new Daisy & Dandelion range together with Laura Ashley 'Contemporary' papers.

Whilst having some time today I have also made a couple of cards for

I have used the brand new soon to be released 'Roselle' kit which contains beautiful shades of greens, browns, pinks and blues.
