For once I have actually done the challenge on Ismaki on the right week but ohhhhhhhhhhhhh boy did I get myself in a mess...
Decided to do a large card so that I could use some letters I got last week - and some bargain envelopes (large size) that I picked up at a craft show. I've not done many large cards (2) so it was quite a challenge. All sorts of things went wrong like after sticking on the card and paper on the front of the design it was too thick to cut in my cutter and due to being large I couldn't fit it in open. Then the green card I matted on to was my last scrap and there wasn't enough to matt the quote on (had to piece two bits together)
oh the stress of it all - who said card making was relaxing?
I'm not 100% sure whether I like the finished result but if you want to take a look it's here...

It measures just over 8" x 8"
