Well this is my first attempt at participating in a challenge. I had lots of time while we were away on holidays to read websites and I came home with lots of patterns I would like to try. It has been nice just creating for the sake of being creative and I have made quite a few things. I will post them over the next few weeks.
I had a look at quite a few Challenge sites, there are so many out there but I like a lot of the work done by the design team at Just Add Ink - and I love that it is anAustralian site so this is my first attempt.
I do love summer Silhouettes and have had a set of Thankyou cards half completed for a while so I used that for the inspiration to complete this card for Just Add Ink Challenge199
I have used Elegant Eggplant as the base, Wisteria Wonder and Crumb Cake cardstock, with Gumball Green, and Pistachio Pudding inks. I have quite a few buttons in my stash and these are from the regals collection, along with some Linen Thread. I have also used the Tiny Tags and Jewellery Punch for the Sentiment. I have come home determined to use some of the stamp sets I love that haven't seen much ink for a while.

It was also good to finish off the Thankyou set. They are all one layer cards utilising sponging and masking using the fabulous Summer Silhouettes set in Gumball Green, Primrose Petals and Pool party with Crumb Cake. They also use a bit of scoring, seam binding buttons and bling.
Thanks for looking, Liz
Liz, all of your cards are gorgeous!! I love the card you put together for our challenge this week; so pretty. My favourite elements are the off-set circles, and the sentiment on the tiny tags. So glad you were inspired to join us at Just Add Ink this week, and congrats on entering your first challenge! We hope you'll play along with us again. :)
