ColourQ #205 and Muse #33




Happy Saturday.  I'm here with two cards today for two different challenges.  First up is a birthday card for this week's ColourQ #205.  This card shows me how well all my stampy toys play together.  Dies from Lil Inkers and PTI, Stamps from CAS-ual Fridays and PTI, paper from SU and PTI, and inks from SU, PTI, and Memento.  





My next card is for this week's Muse #33, where our inspiration card is by one of my favorite gals to CASE--Laurie Willison.  Here is the inspiration card:



I fell in love with this layout, and thought it would be a good way to use some of the super fun paper I had leftover from my July 12 Kits of Occasions from Christina.  When I was making this card, I was also inspired by Michelle's entry into this same challenge.  I love how she made a border on the diagonal edges.

Stamps:  CAS-Ual Fridays Bold Wishes, Birthday Style
Paper:  White, SU Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzelberry, Basic Grey, Island Indigo
Ink:  SU Island Indigo, Pretty in Pink, Memento Grey Flannel, PTI Kraft
