Just Add Ink #53

This week's challenge over at Just Add Ink is called A Bright Burst of Colour, so a great opportunity to play with those brights. I have been seeing the twisted easel card on a few blogs and thought this would be ideal to use for this challenge. I have used the stamp set Punched Posies which is a Level 2 hostess gift from the Summer Mini Catalogue.

Here is the picture to take inspiration from:


And here is my bright card:


Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Punched Posies, Great Friend
Card/Paper: Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Whisper White, In-Colour paper pack (level 1 hostess gift)
Ink: Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Old Olive
Accessories: Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Scallop Edge punch, Old Olive satin ribbon

Stamp Sets: Aviary
Card/Paper: So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Island Oasis DSP
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Basic Gray

Birthday Blessings!

I celebrated my ? birthday on Friday and had a fantastic day. My fanfabulous (Made up word) husband surprised me with a lovely dinner with family and friends at the Iguacu restaurant in Parnell. It was a very special evening. I thought I would share some of the cards I received. I love receiving cards people have made for me. You know as a cardmaker there is often alot of thought and time that goes into these.
The first card was given to me by my very talented daughter Sarah. She also made the Artistic Etchings card which was commisioned by Ian.


My very good friend Anabel gave me a beautiful necklace which was presented in this box and a matching card.



My son Daniel took the photo. I suspect he did not want to be in it. The one with him in it, the birthday girl had her eyes closed!


So thank you for a most lovely day.
