Just Add Ink - A Note of Thanks

30 July 2012



I know, two challenges in a week! 
I have been wanting to play along at the Just Add Ink Challenge for a while now, ever since I met the beautiful Nikki Spencer at the Stampin' Up! Convention this year. She forms part of the design team at Just Add Ink and is such a talented crafter. 

The idea around this weeks challenge is to be inspired by the photo. I decided to case my own swap card! Is that bad? (My swap card is the card I made to swap with other ladies cards at Convention this year...I made 70! ) I did this because I really enjoyed making these and really do love this 'Array Of Sunshine' hostess stamp set. It also matches all the colours and elements in the photo.

My 'Note Of Thanks' card has been made for a lovely, talented lady who I have only had the oppotunity to meet briefly, however she drove me back from Convention in Canberra this year and I am so grateful. A huge thank you Marelle Taylor for making space for me, in a car packed with Stampin' Up! goodies!

Stamp Sets: Array of Sunshine, Thank you Kindly
Accessories: Seam Binding Ribbon, Stampin' Write Markers, Blender Pen, Simply Scored,
Colour Combination: Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade and Melon Mambo
