Sorry im abit late in uploading this DT card as i had my swine flu injection yesterday and seemed to suffer a reaction which i new id have some symptoms for 25-48hrs but nothing like what i experienced.

Anyway onto this weeks C.R.A.F.T challenge which this week is a;

"Recipe"

which is to make a Card or craft Product using the following;

1 Sentiment

1 Tag

1 Ribbon

I am also entering this card into the challenge over at

ABC this weeks challenge is H for hidden the tag pocket has a gift card stuck to it for M&S .I have made this to hold the gift card in the wee pocket afixed to the tag rather than give the shops we paper envelope.

This is my take on this challenge using K &co Design Papers and Poinsetta embellishment from K& CO also.Just kept it plainish and simple.the tag will hold a wee gift card on secured with a glue dot so doesnt come off in post.
