Another Birthday Card - Perfect Postage/Outlined Occasions.

Hi all,

Hope you've had a nice Easter weekend and you're not buried in chocolate Easter eggs! lol.

Today is one of my ladies' birthday, so I decided to work outside my comfort zone and play with Elegant Eggplant as the base cardstock as it's a colour I rarely use. Then I was thinking of tennis/Wimbledon, so have teamed it up with Pear Pizzazz for a purple and green combo, very unlike me.

So here's the card I made recently to celebrate an upcoming birthday:

Punch Bunch Birthday Card

Afternoon all,

It seems ages since I've made a card and what better excuse to get messy than inking up new stamps! Yes, that's right, I recently earned Punch Bunch Sale-A-Bration stamp set and couldn't wait to ink them up. Below is a quick card I made using new colours - Pink Pirouette and the lovely Poppy Parade In Color that I adore. Along with the matching Scallop Square Punch, I created a simple birthday card for my collection.
