It felt good to ink up new stamps, by Avery Elle, and enter a few challenges.
Taheerah started a "cure for the monday blues" challenge, and always finds the most delicious inspiration:
I lifted the flower arrangement, in shades of pink. I inked up the florals with a light pink ink, but used a sponge dauber to add darker pink to a few flowers before stamping onto my cardstock.
The striped table runner features as a chevron background.
And all of the gold! I made good use of my glitter tape, even on the tiny clothespin.
I hope you like it! I'm also entering the AEIHeartU challenge, which is all about birthdays.
I think you can celebrate anything you like, with this card.
