While I was playing, a request came in for a 70th Birthday card, and this was just a pleasure to do, with a floral corner and the added bonus of using the new 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum as the base for this card.
Stamp set: Artistically Inked
Card stock: Polished Pink Shimmer, Expressions In Ink DSP, Whisper White, Ephemera Gold Foil
Ink: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz, Shaded Spruce
Accessories: Artistic Dies, Gold gems
Keep on creative card making, GenGen xxxx
Happy Birthday ADJ!
Further playtime with the Expressions In Ink Suite. The strong print and foil of the DSP makes a perfect background for a floral foray!
Stamp set: Artistically Inked
Card Stock: Expressions In Ink DSP, Polished Pink, Whisper White, Shaded Spruce, Gold Foil
Ink: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Artistic Dies, Pink sequins from the Ephemera Pack
With this card I printed the Polished Pink flower on to the DSP, but then printed flower and leaves using the coordinating dies to build up the flower arrangement with a plain shaded spruce leaf background to contrast with the gold foil detail.
Keep on with card making, GenGen xxxx
When I had my sneak peak at the new main catalogue I just fell in love with the Expressions In Ink Suite, so simply ordered the whole suite as I knew I would get quite a lot of use out of it.
I've really been enjoying playing around with this suite for recent Birthday cards and the colour suite is wonderfully bright and cheerful, with the Ephemera Pack and fabulous Expressions in Ink 12"x12" DSP facilitating easy co-ordination at your fingertips.
Stamp Set: Artistically Inked
Cardstock: Polished Pink, Expressions in Ink DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Polished Pink, Just Jade
Accessories: Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack for Gold Foil Leaf, Mint Macaron Lace, Triple Banner Punch, Artistic Dies, Gilded Gems
Keep on card making,

With the greatest will in the world, I am often time poor, even in these unusual times.
So when a suite is available where I can utilise the associated DSP, and add a few accessories and the card is done, even I can make the deadline :-)
I know I really should stop using this retired Happy Birthday die, but with Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Gorgeous Grape card stock I simply love the effect ;-)
The Gorgeous Grape 1cm Sheer ribbon at the side, and a few Pastel Pearls to accentuate the Hydrangeas, and FINISHED! Just before you race out the door!!
Keep calm by card making!

As the years flutter by tiny girls get to be 12! How time flies!
