Let's Colour

Hello again,  it's time again for another wonderful challenge at

Cardz 4 Guyz.

Julie has chosen for us 'Let's Colour'.

Colouring had become a very popular craft on it's own,

with colouring books for adults. Secretly many of us have been colouring 

for many, many years,  The colouring books we bought our children for 

Christmas were mostly used by the parents, ours were anyway. 

So thanks Julie for such a good choice.

Please pop over and see what the DT have created to inspire you.

For my card

A white scallop edge card.
