Summer Birthday and JAI #195

These last couple of weeks I have been focused on finsihing Christmas cards and have missed being able to take part in many card Challenges! But they are all done now - all 57 of them, phew! So now it's time for a card inspired by the Colour Challenge this week at Just Add Ink.

My first challenge was that I don't actually have any Soft Sky or Blushing Bride in ink or card stock - so I have used Pool Party instead of the Sky :-) 

And here too is a first look at some of the upcoming Salebration free items!!

The card base is Whisper White, the next layer of white is stamped with Positively Chevron in Calypso Coral ink and then partially covered with the same colour card using the Decorative Dots EF. This is then added with some dimensionals to the Pool Party layer.

The greeting is from the fun Saleabration set See Ya Later and is cut out and layered using the Oval Framelits. The butterflies are from the familiar Papillon Potpourri set and the button is made from Simply Pressed Clay using the button molds filled with Dazzling Diamonds.

Card Stock: Whisper White, Calypso Coral So Safron, Pool Party

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, So Safron

Stamps: See Ya Later *, Papillon Potpourri, Positively Chevron

Accessories: Big Shot, Oval Framelits, Decorative Dots EF*, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches, Basic Rhinestones, Simply Pressed Clay, Bakers Twine

* Saleabration item

So fabulous to have all the Christmas cards done in time for posting (via the Post office ) and look forward to sharing in some more challenges soon.

Happy stamping until next time,

Jan
