I made a card with my newest Flower set, Pretty Poppies from MFT. I am entering it into the following challenges: Dynamic Duos DD#52, using the colors from DD#23, CASology #44 where the cue word is 'bloom' and Simon Says...Flower Power. What do you think of that orange ink? It is Orange Fizz from MFT, and it is so pretty in person--almost like a toned down Orange Zest.
My next card is not for any challenge. What??? We received an invitation to the Bat Mitzvah of the daughter of one of Peter's college buddies. Too bad we can't attend, but it is in New York the same weekend as Sarah's 8th grade graduation. The invitation had some beautiful shimmer papers all layered together. I pulled it all apart and used those papers to make her a card. I stamped the inside, too, but forgot to take a picture of that, and the card has already been sent.
