We only want to see card in this challenge, but we want you to use something you wouldn't usually use.  We won't accept ribbon, lace, buttons or other usual embellishments, you need to be far more creative than that!!!  Please point out what you have used, even if you think it is obvious!!!  Our DT have given you some great inspiration.....

Carrie, who has used nail varnish 

Kerry, who has used gauze

Tanya, who has used sweets/candy

Katie, who has used gauze

And this is sadly our last card from Helen, our guest designer for May

Helen has used a page from a map
