Today's card I made for the " A Spoon Full of Sugar " challenge. This weeks theme is "Torn Edges"....what a great challenge, I had real fun creating my card and think that torn edges always are giving a nice detail! And I also thought my new Farmer Anya from The Greeting Farm would make a great image to go with the torn edges as well as the new paper "Marakech" from Basic Grey! These are two of my newest additions to my Greeting Farm and paper collection which I got from Summer's store Roses on Paper !
