Hello dear readers! It’s Elena Salo and it is so nice to be with you again and to share the inspiration! To see my first two posts check here and here. I continue to introduce you to the Romancing the Swirl collection by Becca Feeken. This time I created two easy cards, which you can easily and quickly make, and they look very elegant.

To create them I used A2 Corner Cotillion set, which I think one of the best in this collection. For my second card I create landscape cad base.

I tried to show all the beauty of this card creator die, that's why I didn't add too much details to my cards and left them very simple.
